The SIC identified that some references of costume masks sold in the Colombian market were allegedly unsafe for consumers, including children and adults.<\/p>\n

Based on preliminary investigations carried out since 2021, the SIC, as consumer protection<\/a> authority, initiated administrative sanctioning investigations against the companies that were marketing these type of products, for allegedly failing to comply with the safety requirements that the masks must have.<\/p>\n

In addition, the SIC considered that the company failed to comply with Resolution 33 of 2013, which prohibits the production and marketing of masks when they have the following characteristics:<\/p>\n

1. Cover the entire face and head.<\/p>\n

2. Have orifices that do not allow breathing.<\/p>\n

3. Have fastenings or closings that prevent the mask from being easily removed.<\/p>\n

The SIC ordered the corresponding safety campaigns to recover and withdraw the products with such characteristics. The companies investigated are exposed to fines in favor of the SIC for a value of up to 2,000 SMLMV<\/p>\n
