Electric shock The product poses a risk of electric shock because to reset the baby monitor, a button must be pressed.

Nothing is supplied with the test device for the purpose of resetting it: the instructions recommend using a fine-tipped instrument. If this instrument is made from a conductive material (e.g. paper clip), the user of the baby monitor can come into contact with dangerous voltage levels.
The product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and with the relevant European standards EN 60950 and EN 61558.

Enforcement is a top priority of the EU Consumer Policy Strategy 2007-2013. Both measures leading to RAPEX notifications and measures which come to the attention of the Commission and other Member States as reactionsare indications of enforcement activity in the Member State concerned.
In order to give a better view on the overall level of enforcement, including the follow-up activities of the national market surveillance authorities, the Commission RAPEX team has decided to publish on the RAPEX website also the names of the countries that have found the notified product on their market and have taken appropriate measures (and have submitted a reaction to a RAPEX notification as a consequence).
Information about the reacting countries is available in the RAPEX weekly overviews in the column 'Products were found and measures were taken also in'. The Commission RAPEX team will publish reactions sent (from May2009 onwards) to 2009 RAPEX notifications.
