The aim of the priority action was to check compliance with the legal requirements for toys with confectionery available on the Austrian market that are particularly suitable for children under 3 years of age. The labelling of the pre-packaged confectionery accompanying the toy was also checked.
33 samples from all over Austria were analysed. 28 samples were objected to (in some cases several times):
- Two samples were judged to be harmful to health
- 33 samples due to labelling deficiencies
- 23 samples were objected to due to a missing or inadequate EC Declaration of Conformity
