The Office for Product Safety and Standards currently has access to my rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State’s powers under the General Product Safety Regulations 2005, including to require information for the purposes of deciding whether to issue a safety notice, to issue warning notices and to issue recall notices. The Government will be consulting in due course on options for further powers for the Office.
