They added that the deputy's appeal had been received and would be considered in due course.

"Russia has created a global quality control system for goods, which, with the help of labeling, makes it possible to instantly block certain counterfeit products throughout the country. But so far, even if Rospotrebnadzor has identified products that are dangerous to health, it must first issue a warning to the manufacturer, give time for correction," Lisovsky explained.

According to him, during this time of decision-making, such low-quality goods may already be sold to the consumer.
