Product Threatening Children's Health Removed from Market

The market surveillance inspections conducted by the Ministry of Trade have uncovered a product that poses a significant threat to children's health. As part of the Ministry's efforts to promote the use of safe products and protect public health, inspections revealed that the Mobidus-Ruppert brand brass pencil sharpener contains excessive amounts of lead. Given the product's chemical risk, a decision was made to ban its sale and recall it from the market in accordance with relevant legislation. Ensuring that stationery products, which children frequently use in their daily lives, fully comply with safety standards is of paramount importance for protecting public health.
