Injuries

The products pose a risk of injuries because the visibility of the reflectors is not sufficient. The results for retroreflection are so low (lower than values for type 2), that they can not be regarded as safe visibility accessories. The products do not comply with the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Directive and the relevant European standard EN 13356.

Voluntary measures: Voluntary recall from consumers.
