WTF. Really? WTF. All These fucking rules in the EU and nobody enforces them. Nobody controls goods before they are placed in the market. Nothing. Thank you Duchies from bringing this up, but who knows how many are already damaged. Sorry I am pissed

Vier jaar geleden ben ik mijn moeder verloren aan asbestkanker (mesothelioom), opgelopen tijdens haar werk bij Eternit destijds. Het ging zo bizar snel bergafwaarts dat ze nooit van een schadevergoeding heeft kunnen genieten. Dat dit in 2026 nog kan is echt schandalig.

Imma be real here: there should be hard jail time for the companies that produced and distributed this crap.
If the producing company is outside of the jurisdiction of the EU then their entities and directors should be barred from ever doing business here again.

Echt om depri van te worden.
Giftige stoffen in babymelk, nu asbest in speelzand.
