UK Product Safety Review: call for evidence

Overview

We have extended the closing date from 3 June to 17 June 2021 to allow more time to respond in the light of COVID-19 and the run-up to the local elections.

The government is committed to ensuring that only safe products can be legally placed on the market now and in the future. But the world in which we operate is changing and it is important that the framework that protects consumers from unsafe products is reviewed and updated where necessary, to deal with new and novel products or business models.

This Call for Evidence is an opportunity for us to invite and listen to a wide range of views on the UK’s overarching product safety regulations so that any prospective reform results in a product safety framework that is fit for the future – protecting people and supporting both growth and investment.
