26 produits retirés du marché européen pour non-conformité à la directive RoHS
26 products lose European market access due to EU RoHS Directive and Persistent Organic Pollutant violations.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, importers of 26 products were ordered to recall their products from the European market for failure to comply with the EU RoHS Directive. Several of the products were also found to be non-compliant with the Persistent Organic Pollutant (POP) Regulation.
The EU RoHS Directive imposes restrictions on the presence of specific substances and prohibits certain chemicals in items sold within the European Union. Products discovered to not be RoHS compliant must be removed from the European market due to environmental concerns.
Products recalled in the fourth quarter of 2025 include radios, wireless controllers, LED light strips, projectors, and wireless speakers.
The recalls were announced via EU Safety Gate alerts. Below are 3 of the 26 total enforcement actions for this quarter.
