Textiles and clothing belong to the most frequently reported category of products in the European market posing a serious risk to consumer health. To find out the reasons of this problem, an analysis of RAPEX system data covering 15 years of its operation was carried out. The purpose of this analysis was to identify the sources of dangerous products and the main threats posed by them. The problem is discussed in the two parts of the paper. In the first the authors paid attention to changes in legal requirements introduced not only within but also beyond the EU market, and analysed such variables as the activity of European countries in detecting hazards and countries of origin of dangerous products. In the second part, the authors characterised the main threats posed by textiles and analysed notifications, mainly in terms of the nature of the risk.

Wyroby tekstylne i odzieżowe należą do najczęściej zgłaszanych na rynku europejskim kategorii produktów stwarzających poważne zagrożenie dla zdrowia konsumentów. Aby poznać przyczyny tego problemu, przeprowadzono analizę danych zawartych w bazie RAPEX, obejmującą 15 lat działalności tego systemu. Celem tej analizy było poznanie źródeł pochodzenia niebezpiecznych produktów oraz głównych zagrożeń, jakie one stwarzają, w celu wskazania kierunków działań, jakie należy podjąć, aby poprawić bezpieczeństwo tych produktów na rynku UE. Problem został omówiony w dwóch częściach artykułu. W pierwszej części zwrócono uwagę na zmiany wymogów prawnych, wprowadzone nie tylko na rynku UE, ale także poza nim, i przeanalizowano następujące zmienne: aktywność krajów europejskich w wykrywaniu zagrożeń oraz pochodzenie niebezpiecznych produktów. Wykazano m.in., że zmiany w prawie mają istotny wpływ na poziom bezpieczeństwa produktów oferowanych konsumentom na rynku UE. Druga część artykułu będzie się koncentrowała na charakterystyce głównych zagrożeń, jakie stwarzają wyroby włókiennicze i analizie notyfikacji produktów niebezpiecznych, głównie pod względem charakteru ryzyka.
