Following the business security and the hiring of CPSO, the shops have since removed all non-compliant products from sales.
Customers who have purchased the affected products are advised to quit using them, and those who may have purchased related goods may also take note of the risks, according to EnterpriseSG.
CPSO will continue to work with e-commerce programs to educate their sellers on the importance of adhering to the laws.
EnterpriseSG added that security incidents involving the use of these children’s products have continued to appear in Singapore.
On average, the KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH) sees over 10 cases of infant accidents arising from the use of child travelers and guards each year, according to the press release.
” These accidents include fractures and head injuries sustained during falls, abrasions caused by sharp objects, and second-degree burns when walkers are unattended and have access to hot liquids in areas,” the authors write.
Occurrences involving toys with small or electrical parts are still common, with the doctor recording an average of 46 cases a time over the past two decades.
In extreme cases, ingested tiny magnets can capture intestines, causing clogging or punctures. If the airway is entirely blocked, tiny toy parts that are easily broken can cause choking and possibly lead to death.
Users, according to EnterpriseSG, are crucial in ensuring the safety of online purchases because they cannot physically inspect goods before purchasing.
Suppliers and manufacturers of basic consumer goods must adhere to international health standards set by various organizations, according to EnterpriseSG.
Anyone who ignores CPSO’s order to stop the sale of unsafe products may face a fine of up to S$ 10, 000 ( US$ 7, 766 ), jailed for up to 2 years, or both upon conviction.
