Recalled from the market: Ministry bans sale of a children's scooter

Turkey’s Ministry of Trade has banned the sale of a children’s toy scooter after market surveillance and inspections found it failed to meet safety standards, ordering its withdrawal from the market. The ministry classified the product as unsafe, halting its supply to the market as well as requiring collection of units already on sale. The decision follows a broader push by Ankara to tighten product-safety oversight of consumer goods sold to households. The number of affected units and the manufacturer or importer were not specified in the announcement. Watch for further ministry inspections and possible recalls of other children’s products as enforcement continues.
