What is a Safety Gate (Rapex) entry?

This is an EU Safety Gate (formerly Rapex) alert about a non-food product that RappelConso republishes for France. Safety Gate alerts are exchanged between European authorities; the manufacturer or importer carries out the corrective action (often a recall or a repair). It is shown here because it concerns products sold in France.
