Consumers come into contact with products such as cosmetics, food
packaging or toys on a daily basis. It is the task of the BfR to contribute
to product safety through its recommendations. The field of product
safety comprises a variety of different products: cosmetic and hygiene
products, food packaging and containers, toys, clothing, detergents
and cleaning products, tobacco products and other consumer products
such as furniture, mattresses, carpets and hobby products. The results
of the BfR's risk assessments are incorporated into recommendations
for legislators, manufacturers and consumers.
