Risk and analytical results

hazardObserved
Other non-compliance identified: the identified claim "made from natural bamboo fibres and so are plastic free and also fully biodegradable” is misleading as it focuses the customer’s attention on the ‘natural’ aspect rather than on the real composition of the product, and the product is falsely declared as made of 100% bamboo (Art. 3 EU 1935/2004). It does not look like the product is made of 100% bamboo, because it has not the typical bamboo look.
