来源:澳大利亚竞争与消费者委员会

财政部议会大臣大卫布拉德伯里说，根据新的《澳大利亚消费者法案》，澳大利亚永久禁止首批10种产品，包括类似儿童玩具的香烟打火机和“天灯”。

这些产品，最初是被临时禁止18个月，现在已经在所有州和地区永久禁止。

在这些禁令中，7种是由联邦、州和地区去年通过进程而确定的，以协调澳大利亚的产品安全法规；3种是由澳大利亚竞争与消费者委员会（ACCC）推荐进行永久禁止的。 “根据新的《澳大利亚消费者法案》被永久禁止的产品包括类似儿童玩具的香烟打火机、含有超过1%的化学DEHP的儿童食品容器和玩具以及无人热气球或‘天灯’”

“这些永久禁令将确保消费者，特别是儿童，远离那些可能会造成严重伤害的产品。” “若产品违反禁令，其供应商将被起诉并罚款最高110万美元，并要召回产品”

澳大利亚消费者法案于2011年1月1日生日。关于更多永久禁令和国家产品安全系统的信息，请参见www.productsafety.gov.au。 被永久禁止的十种产品： 含有超过1%DEHP的儿童产品 易燃蜡烛台

Unsafe products permanently banned under Australian Consumer Law

Date: 8th February 2011

Cigarette lighters that look like children's toys and 'sky lanterns' are among the first 10 permanent product bans made under the new Australian Consumer Law, said Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasurer, David Bradbury.

The products, which were initially the subject of 18-month interim bans, have now been permanently banned in all States and Territories.

\"These are the first permanent bans under the new Australian Consumer Law and will help to keep consumers safe from potentially hazardous products,\" said Mr Bradbury. \"Under the new national product safety system, these bans will be in force uniformly in all States and Territories.\"

The bans include seven products that were identified by the Commonwealth, States and Territories through a process last year to harmonise product safety regulations in Australia, while a further three products were recommended for permanent bans by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).

\"The products that have now been permanently banned under the Australian Consumer Law include cigarette lighters that look like children's toys, infant food containers and toys that contain more than 1% of the chemical diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), and unmanned hot air balloons, or 'sky lanterns'. \"These permanent bans will ensure that consumers, particularly children, are protected from products that may cause them serious harm.

\"A supplier of goods that are found to be in breach of these bans can be prosecuted and fined up to $1.1 million and can also be required to recall the goods at their expense.\"

The Australian Consumer Law, which came into effect on 1 January 2011, allows for permanent bans and standards made by the Commonwealth to have effect in all States and Territories.

\"The Commonwealth has worked with the States and Territories to develop a national product safety system, so that products deemed to be unsafe are subject to bans or standards consistently across the country, enforced by State and Territory as well as Commonwealth regulators,\" said Mr Bradbury. \"A national product safety system also cuts down on red tape for businesses that operate in more than one State and Territory. Under the new Australian Consumer Law, businesses only have one set of product safety regulations to comply with, making it easier to operate across State and Territory borders.\" More information on the permanent bans, and the national product safety system, can be found at www.productsafety.gov.au.
