Jan Boettcher, founder of HanseApps developed this useful App. “It–s great to have this information on your iPhone, every week refreshed for all European countries! A lot of people do not know the existence of such report. I am glad that we can now offer this excellent service of the EU to all iPhone users”
RAPEX is the EU rapid alert system for all dangerous consumer products, with the exception of food, pharmaceutical and medical devices. It allows for the rapid exchange of information between Member States via central contact points (the National Contact Points ) and the Commission of measures taken to prevent or restrict the marketing or use of products posing a serious risk to the health and safety of consumers. Both measures ordered by national authorities and measures taken voluntarily by producers and distributors are covered by RAPEX.
Every Friday, the Commission publishes a weekly overview of the dangerous products reported by the national authorities (the RAPEX notifications). This weekly overview gives you all information on the product, the possible danger and the measures that were taken by the reporting country. Now you can have this report in the palm of your hand, thanks to the App
Jan Boettcher reproduced in his App with kind permission of the European Commission”s Directorate-General for Health and Consumers from the original Weekly overview reports of RAPEX notifications published on the European Union”s official webside “Europa” through the EU Rapid Alert System for non-food consumer products (RAPEX)
