The 2026 European Commission coordinated review found that while online marketplaces show improved compliance with EU product safety rules, 42% of listings for children’s products and fitness items lack complete traceability information, such as manufacturer details and product identification. Marketplaces have increased registration in the Safety Gate Portal and designated contact points, but enforcement continues as incomplete listings remain widespread.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of E-commerce.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You need to ensure your listings display all required safety and traceability details clearly to avoid removals or sanctions. Platforms that act quickly to fix incomplete listings will gain trust and reduce regulatory risk.
