During the action, inspection agents of Weights and State Measures Institutes (delegated bodies Inmetro) will travel in all states of Brazil, the retail and wholesale trade to examine whether toys, children's use of bicycles, restraint devices for children (the seats of vehicles), carts for children and children's cribs meet the technical regulations established by Inmetro.

During the operation will be checked if the products are being marketed with the set of mandatory information, such as manufacturer's data or the importer, CNPJ the manufacturer, country of origin, age and, especially, the conformity identification seal. All information must be written in Portuguese.

According to the director of Conformity Assessment, Annalina Camboim, the initiative aims to curb the sale of items that have not demonstrated their compliance with the minimum safety requirements.

"The inspection is intended to increase consumer confidence in the safety of products and to ensure fair competition, curbing malpractice," he said.

Establishments where irregularities are found will have ten days to present a defense to the Institute and will be subject to the penalties provided by law, with fines ranging from R $ 100.00 to R $ 1.5 million. Consumers can file complaints through the Inmetro Ombudsman by telephone 0800-285-1818, online form and register accidents in Inmetro System Consumption Accident Monitoring (Sinmac) at: www.inmetro.gov.br/sinmac.
