I. Background
The European Union's Consumer Product Safety Commission has warned that plastic packaging (plastic film) for children's toys can cover children's mouths and noses and cause choking when the film thickness is not up to standard. Recalls of children's toys due to substandard plastic packaging have been more frequent. When a product is recalled, the merchant may be held liable, including, but not limited to, the full cost of the recall, the cost of consumer lawsuits, and civil, administrative, and even criminal liability for the sale of unsafe, non-compliant merchandise.
