Rospotrebnadzor uncovered fake declarations on the safety of aroma-inhalers

Rospotrebnadzor monitored information about "nasal aroma-inhalers" sold on marketplaces and found discrepancies in their safety declarations. This was reported by the agency in its Telegram channel on Wednesday, December 11.

"According to the general information posted on the product pages, it was found that these products are often accompanied by declarations of conformity to the requirements of the technical regulations of the Customs Union "On the safety of perfumery and cosmetic products" (TR CU 009/2011), not confirmed by the grounds for issuing such declarations, or there is no information on accompanying documents," the statement said.

Rospotrebnadzor takes prompt measures to suspend the validity of such documents, as well as the sale of these products, they said.

The situation is under control of Rospotrebnadzor.

Earlier, on December 10, it became known that Wildberries will withdraw from the sale of aroma-inhalers popular among children. They also assured that they strictly comply with the requirements of the current legislation of the Russian Federation, the seller's offer contains a list of goods prohibited for sale.

On the same day, doctors from the clinic "Invitro" and "Invitro North-West" told "Izvestia" that essential oils can have a significant impact on the body, so it is extremely important to realize that not every combination of them is beneficial.

According to experts, the key aspect is the concentration of the aroma-inhaler and the duration of its use by the child. Even a harmless substance with frequent and uncontrolled use can cause very serious problems, such as chemical damage to the mucous membranes. Also, many cases of pronounced dizziness and feelings of nausea have already been recorded.

These symptoms occur due to the negative effects of the vapors of the mixture on the liver and gallbladder. It is necessary to understand what oils are contained in the solution of the inhaler, in what proportions, whether they are compatible with each other and how they affect the body, especially on children.
