The manufacturer filed this campaign under code 42J5, and that same code appears in the Canadian register as 2019116. One defect, filed once by the manufacturer, recorded separately by each authority that saw it.
The Safety Gate is an alert system, not a recall register: a member state notifies the Commission of a product it considers dangerous, and the alert records that notification. It is not the same administrative act as a national recall, and this page does not treat the two as interchangeable.
Read the alert on the European Commission's own site. This page reproduces the fields the Safety Gate publishes; the Commission's entry is the authority.
Every European alert we hold covers the whole set, and which member states raise most of them. Europe and America sets the European alerts against the American register.
