The General Product Safety Regulation (GSPR) is a critical framework established by the European Union to ensure that products placed on the market are safe for consumers. This regulation mandates that manufacturers and distributors take all necessary measures to prevent risks associated with their products. As a responsible entity, Furious Goose is committed to adhering to these regulations and enhancing the safety and transparency of our offerings.
Under the GSPR, several key rules must be followed:
1. Product Safety: All products must be safe for use and should not pose any risk to consumers. This includes ensuring that products are designed and manufactured to meet safety requirements. Silk, wool and cashmere scarves are not considered risky products but we will be compiling some safety advice regarding fire risk etc.
2. Labeling and Instructions: Clear and accurate labeling is essential. Products must include safety information, usage instructions, and any necessary warnings to inform consumers about potential risks. We will be adding QR codes to relevant pages on our website to our packaging. This will ensure that consumers have access to all necessary details to use our products safely.
3. Traceability: Manufacturers must ensure that their products can be traced throughout the supply chain. This includes maintaining records of product origin and distribution. Our products are all made in the UK but we will will nonetheless be adopting batch numbers on our labels to improve traceability.
Furious Goose is dedicated to ensuring that our products not only meet but exceed safety expectations. By proactively addressing GSPR requirements, we aim to foster consumer trust and contribute to a safer marketplace.
