Product Safety Report Evidence Pack (EU)
Brand, model, batch, barcode, purchase details, hazard description, photos and the Safety Gate reference — everything an EU product-safety report needs, in one structured pack.
A product-safety report is only as strong as the details you can name
The EU Safety Gate (formerly RAPEX) is a genuinely powerful system — a single consumer report can trigger an EU-wide alert, force a recall, and get dangerous goods pulled from shelves across 30 countries. But it runs on specifics: the exact brand and model, the batch or lot number, the barcode, where and when you bought it, and clear photos of the hazard. Vague reports stall; precise ones move.
Those details are easy to lose — the packaging gets binned, the receipt fades, the batch number rubs off. Capturing them in one structured pack the moment you spot a hazard is what turns "this seems dangerous" into an actionable report the authorities can trace to a specific production run.
Step by step
- Download the PDF pack and the Excel version the moment you notice a hazard or defect.
- Record the brand, model, and the batch/lot number and barcode — the identifiers that tie the item to a specific production run.
- Log where you bought it and the date of purchase, and write a clear description of the hazard or defect.
- Work through the photos checklist so nothing essential is missed — the item, the label, the batch code, and the hazard itself.
- Submit your report through the EU Safety Gate portal, then log the Safety Gate reference number in the pack so you can track it.
Anyone reporting a dangerous product in the EU/EEA
A toy, appliance, cosmetic, or gadget that's unsafe — a complete, dated evidence pack is what lets an authority trace it to a production run and act across the whole single market.
