Is my product affected?

Boy's trousers

  • Brand JUMBO

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Boy's trousers sold under the brand name JUMBO in size 08 years pose a safety hazard because their waist drawstrings have free ends that extend 300 millimeters on each side. This exceeds the safe limit of 140 millimeters per side established by European standard EN 14682. The trousers are black or grey with one side pocket, embroidered with the number 5, and have plastic toggles at the end of the drawstrings. They are made of 80% cotton and 20% polyester, with the item number NEW-05 and barcode 0 277233 000033.

The hazard stems from the risk that excessively long drawstrings can cause injuries. An importer has been ordered by authorities to take corrective actions regarding this product. The recall notice does not specify what affected consumers should do.
