How are consumer safety concerns addressed in the CPNP? Consumer safety concerns are addressed through stringent regulations that require manufacturers to provide comprehensive safety assessments for their products before submitting notifications. The CPNP allows EU member states to monitor these submissions and take action if safety issues arise. If a product poses a risk to consumers, authorities can issue recalls, ban products, or take other necessary measures to protect public health. Additionally, the CPNP facilitates consumer feedback and reporting of adverse effects, enabling authorities to respond promptly to emerging safety concerns. This proactive approach helps to ensure the ongoing safety of cosmetic products in the market (European Commission, 2022).
