Trading Standards

Safety Advice

Warwickshire Trading Standards carries out a wide range of activities to protect the public from unsafe consumer goods, enforcing an extensive range of product safety legislation.

Traders may be prosecuted where serious breaches are found. Examples of goods regulated include: toys upholstered furniture cosmetics and vehicles (the roadworthiness of cars).

Safety Advice
We ensure compliance with this legislation in various ways, namely:
advising local businesses inspecting goods on sale sampling and testing goods to check they are safe investigating complaints about unsafe products. The service can also suspend the sale of, or seize unsafe goods.

We also provide advice to the public on how to buy safe goods, what to avoid, what to look out for, and warning of the potential dangers of buying shoddy second hand goods. Check out our safety advice below.

If you believe something you possess is unsafe stop using the product or service and seek expert advice
