The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS), part of the Department for Business and Trade, has issued an important Product Safety Message asking the public to check who they are buying from.

Buying products online from businesses that don’t give a UK address increases the risk to consumers. Online platforms are not always the seller of the products on their websites and often act as an intermediary between an independent company and the buyer.
