The Polish competition authority has recently completed inspections of nearly 1,000 batches of children's clothing, focusing on compliance with labeling regulations. The inspections revealed that nearly 25% of the products had irregularities, primarily related to incorrect labeling.

Among the issues identified were incorrect presentations of material composition, such as listing 'cotton' instead of 'bawełna' and 'viscose' instead of 'wiskoza'. Additionally, discrepancies were found between online product descriptions and the actual labels on the items.

Laboratory tests were conducted on 113 batches, revealing that the composition of nearly a quarter differed from the manufacturers' declarations. In some cases, the differences were minor, while in others, they were significant, such as a pajama that was supposed to contain 80% cotton but was entirely made of polyester.

The inspected companies have withdrawn the questioned products from sale, and manufacturers have been required to rectify the irregularities. The inspections are ongoing, and further details are available in the report and the list of products tested in the laboratory.
