Hazard

Consequently, the product does not fulfil the health and safety requirements; thus, even if combined with other recommended measures, it may not properly protect. The product does not comply with the Personal Protective Equipment Regulation nor with the European standard EN 149.

Measures taken

  • Withdrawal of the product from the market — Importer (26/11/2021)
