Annual RAPEX Report 2009 shows efficiency of EU ' s cooperation on dangerous products . The number of dangerous consumer products notified through the EU ' s rapid alert system for non-food dangerous products ( ' RAPEX ' ) rose by 7 per cent in 2009 compared to 2008 , the Commission ' s annual RAPEX report shows today . This rise from 1866 notifications in 2008 to 1993 last year shows that the capacity of the RAPEX system has increased again in 2009 , following more effective market surveillance by Member States . European businesses are also taking their responsibilities in the consumer product safety area more seriouslyrecall their unsafe products from the market more readily . They also begin to use the dedicated rapid alert system for business ( ' Business Application ' ) more systematically . Toys , clothingmotor vehicles were the most frequently notified products in 2009 . In addition , the results of an EU market surveillance exercise , involving 13 countries checking the safety of toys , were also presented today , show that around 20 per cent did not comply with the relevant safety requirements .  EPA/OLIVIER HOSLET
