This comparison covers 5 official alert references, including ironing board, folding chair for children, folding chair, published from 2014-12-12 to 2025-05-02. The recorded risks raise separate evidence questions about stability/load, entrapment/cords. Compare the product features and dated findings below before scoping an investigation. These historical observations do not determine your product’s compliance or a market failure rate.

Ironing board · SR/01628/25
Report published 2025-05-02 · notifying country France · reported origin Italy
Reported product description
Ironing board 110 x 32 cm. Stock Keeping Unit Number: 600090039. All batches are concerned. Product sold online, in particular via Auchan. [1]
Reported risk explanation
The ironing board is not sufficiently stable, causing the board to collapse which can cause injuries or entrapment. It can also cause the iron placed on the board to fall and cause burns. The product does not comply with the General Product Safety Regulation. [1]

Reported product description
Folding deck chair intended for children, with wood structure and seat in canvas. Measurements: 46x75x60 cm. [2]
Reported risk explanation
The product is unstable and can deform, causing the user to fall. In addition, there is risk of entrapment, mainly of fingers, between moving parts. The product does not comply with the requirements of the General Product Safety Directive nor with the European standard EN 17191. [2]

Reported product description
Folding deck chair with wooden structure. Seat options include version with natural coloured crocheted seat or seat in canvas. [3]
Reported risk explanation
The product is unstable and can deform, causing the user to fall. In addition, there is risk of entrapment, mainly of fingers, between moving parts. The product does not comply with the requirements of the General Product Safety Directive. [3]

Report published 2015-12-11 · notifying country France · reported origin Vietnam
Reported product description
Foldable deckchair with bamboo frame and canvas; 120 x 60 x 75cm [4]
Reported risk explanation
null The product poses a risk of injuries and entrapment because, when folding or adjusting the position of the chair, gaps, holes and shearing points are accessible, especially between moving parts, and fingers could be trapped and crushed. In addition, the chair is not sufficiently stable and might collapse due to an inadequate fixing system. The product does not comply with the relevant European standard EN 581-1. [4]

Report published 2014-12-12 · notifying country Sweden · reported origin People's Republic of China
Reported product description
Foldable, textile camping chair with a grey metal tube frame and plastic armrest. The chair comes in three colours: pink, turquoise or black. No packaging. A white label is attached to the backrest with the model no. and EAN code. [5]
Reported risk explanation
null The plastic material of the armrests is too weak and the angle of the front leg is incorrect. If the user grabs the armrests to get up from the chair and leans forward the armrests bend downwards and the front legs collapse. The user’s fingers could then get caught in the shear point between the armrest and metal links resulting in entrapment, fracture of fingers or, in the worst cases, loss of fingers.The product does not comply with the relevant European standard EN 581-1.

Source selection, exclusions and calculation method
Filter the acquired, completely parsed English weekly XML releases. Deduplicate official alert references. Group by product category and the complete set of conditional evidence-question topics supported by actual risk text. Risk-label combinations remain recorded cohort facets and do not create buyer intents. Brand, product name, model, origin, notifying country, measurement-only changes and different wording of the same questions do not create intents. Unrecognized mechanisms stay internal for enrichment. Count report years and notifying countries deterministically. Display at most eight newest descriptions with at least 40 characters after whitespace normalization, nonempty reported measures and distinct casefolded descriptions; break date ties by official identifier. All cohort records count even if their description is shorter or not displayed. This is not a representative sample. Counts concern this acquired corpus only.
One acquired version per official public alert reference. Display at most eight newest distinct product descriptions whose normalized whitespace-collapsed text contains at least 40 characters and has nonempty reported measures; ties sort by official identifier. The complete cohort includes shorter descriptions. This is an explicit display selection, not a representative sample.
5 distinct descriptions displayed; 0 cohort records not displayed. Missing fields: {}.
These are selected, dated enforcement observations in the acquired weekly reports, not a random market sample, market-wide failure rate, proof of current product status, or a determination about your product. Notification country is not a complete sales-market or jurisdiction-coverage field. A quoted legal/standard reference is the report’s statement, not independently verified current law or a mandatory test panel.

Turn the reported failure mechanism into a scoped investigation
Use this checklist to gather your business or product details before speaking with a specialist. The items below explain what to record and suggest useful supporting documents. You can add your own answers in the editable project brief.
Cord, opening and entrapment configuration — what evidence do we have?
Record the relevant cord/strap, loop, opening or restraint geometry and the intended user/use context. Ask which specific configuration could create the reported trapping/strangulation mechanism; do not infer a universal dimension or release-force limit.
Stability and load-bearing use — what evidence do we have?
Identify the intended loads, support/attachment design, adjustment positions and use surface. Compare the reported collapse or instability mechanism with the actual configuration and agree a supported investigation rather than copying another case’s response.
Can we trace the affected component, formula or design revision across our supplied products?
Compare the reported descriptions with your own identifiers and change records. Treat missing or “Unknown” source fields as unresolved; they do not establish that no action was needed.
Useful evidence: Product identifiers, revision history, supplier/batch traceability and market/operator records.
Who would own an evidence review and any resulting corrective-action decision?
Read the reported measures as historical observations. Establish your own operator roles, sector-specific rules, decision owner and communication responsibilities before adopting another case’s response.
Conditional: Product-risk evidence and operator-role review — Compare the recorded product features and failure mechanism with your product. Confirm the applicable product regime, deciding evidence, operator responsibilities and justified next steps. This does not assume that GPSR or a representative appointment applies to every alert category.
Questions for providers
Which specific product features and reported risk mechanism make these cases relevant or irrelevant to our product?
What current legal, standards or scientific sources support your proposed investigation criteria, and what cannot be concluded from these dated alerts?
Which existing evidence can answer the risk question, what additional work is justified, and who owns any resulting corrective-action decision?
