Example 3. A company distributes teething necklaces intended for children. After making the product available on the market, the company becomes aware that the necklaces can easily break, resulting in the release of small parts. Children under 36 months could easily put these in their mouth and choke on them. This is an example of a case in which the distributor must ensure that the market surveillance authorities are informed through the Safety Business Gateway (either via a notification from the manufacturer or importer, or by sending this information themselves if the manufacturer or the importer has failed to do so).
