In the last financial year (2021/22), OPSS published unsafe product alerts for 500 products and risk-based product safety checks at the border resulted in some two and a half million unsafe items being refused entry. In addition to these measures, prosecutions are undertaken where it is proportionate to the alleged offence and focused on removing the risk to the consumer. No prosecutions for unsafe items have been concluded but they will be published by OPSS in its annual report.</p> more like this
