Increased action against dangerous products in the EU in 2025

The EU stepped up its fight against unsafe products last year, with alerts through its rapid warning system rising 13% to 4,671, the highest level on record. The figures come from the European Commission’s annual Safety Gate report. Safety Gate is the EU’s rapid alert system for dangerous non-food products, allowing authorities from the EU and European Economic Area (EEA) to quickly circulate information and to take swift action.
