Quasi one product out of ten among those that circulate freely on the Italian market is not compliant. This is what emerges from the more than 4.000 inspections carried out by the Chambers of Commerce throughout Italy. During these checks were detected irregularities in just under 1.500 commonly used goods out of a total of approximately 15.000 controlled. Almost one in ten, to be precise.
Among the products x-rayed during the supervisory activity, to hide the greatest pitfalls are the labels of the garments, which in many cases declare false compositions, but toys and electrical products also stand out, whose security is often not up to standard.
A hard blow, therefore, for Made in Italy and for its claims to excellence, which too often risk sinking into the mare magnum of the fake industry, an industry that never seems to experience a crisis and that damages not only the consumer, but also the turnover, which, in the absence of effective deterrents, is irreparably shrinking.
