What happens if a product is reported via Safety Gate?

If your product is reported as unsafe via Safety Gate (the EU rapid alert system for dangerous products), it is entered into a European database. This triggers intensified market surveillance, possible recalls, and regulatory contact. The responsible person is notified and must actively cooperate to organise the recalls. If you fail to respond or do not conduct the recall properly, sales bans will follow. Additionally, your company is flagged in regulatory systems, and future product notifications face stricter scrutiny.
