Lot of the businesses that sell them are nigh impossible to track down, and that’s even assuming extra enforcement is put in place, which it won’t be.
It was never legal to import for retail goods which fail to adhere to UK safety requirements, and yet all these disposables were widely & openly traded.
I partly blame Amazon and EBay for normalizing ignoring regulations on goods. There need to be a reckoning across the board. How can legitimate manufacturers compete? How many ebike/hoverboard/charger fires do we need to see regs are important?
