Beware! 280 illegal consumer goods seized in Sweden

  • 2025-07-07

A Swedish Chemicals Agency investigation revealed that three-quarters of products on 81 online shopping websites contained banned substances such as lead and cadmium. These products did not comply with EU RoHS, REACH, and POPs regulations, primarily from dropshipping stores. The EU will impose fines and remove these products from shelves.

瑞典化學品管理局調查指出,81個購物網站中四分之三的商品含有鉛、鎘等違禁物質。這些商品不符合歐盟RoHS、REACH和POPs規範,違規品主要來自直運商店。歐盟將對違規商品進行罰鍰和下架處理。

The Swedish Chemicals Agency (KEMI) released a survey finding that as many as three-quarters of products purchased from 81 well-known online shopping websites contained banned hazardous substances such as lead, cadmium, and phthalates. The illegal products identified in the investigation included toys, jewelry, electronic devices, and soft plastics. Importers of these products may face legal action for non-compliance with EU directives such as RoHS, REACH, and POPs.


Are your products often found to contain excessive levels of chemicals?

According to statistics, 77% of illegal goods come from dropshipping stores, of which 42% come from e-commerce platforms without physical stores, and the remaining 33% come from online stores with physical stores. Common violations are excessive lead content in electronic equipment, excessive cadmium content in jewelry, and excessive short-chain chlorinated paraffin and plasticizer content in soft plastics. Taking electronic equipment as an example, excessive lead content is often found in solder joints.


If you are not careful, it will be taken off the shelves.

Authorities have noted that, after several audits, online products sold in the EU often contain large quantities of banned hazardous chemicals. Investigations have shown that the offending products primarily violate the RoHS Directive, followed by regulations such as REACH and POPs. EU authorities have stated that they will take appropriate corrective measures, including fines, product removal, and sales bans.
