Quello che vi riporto di seguito e' il link del Rapex che e' una pagina web dove e' possibile rimanere aggiornati sui prodotti testati e banditi o segnalati dalla comunità Europea.
E' ben fatto e viene aggiornato settimanalmente, ci sono anche le foto e tutti i dati dei prodotti vietati o schedati in modo che il consumatore possa capire con certezza di cosa si stia parlando...

E' in inglese ma vi posso dire che se volete fare una ricerca per cercare i cosmetici pericolosi basta che inseriate la parola "cosmetics" nella casella di ricerca e avrete la lista completa dal 2005 a oggi.

Se poi volete vedere i giocattoli per i bambini inserite la parola "toy" ne troverete di tutti i colori.

Tanto per darvi un'idea vi riporto un esempio dei prodotti segnalati nella categoria Nail polish nei vari anni.
Per avere la lista completa e aggironata mi raccomando consultate il link che vi ho riportato sopra del Rapex.

Aquolina Bagno containing yogurt fragranza mousse di fragola


The products can be misused as food products because of their fruit yogurt aroma and the shape of packaging that resembles food. The product represents a serious health risk for children, as chemical pneumonia may develop after ingestion for following reasons. Unpleasant taste fortified by addition of denatonium benzoate (Bitrex) and the production of foam in the stomach due to the product formulation will cause vomiting after ingestion. Because of anatomical parameters of the apertura of larynx and aesophagus in small children, the vomited material can be more readily aspirated. In addition, when foam is produced, its aspiration can be probably foreseen. The products contain detergents and emulsifiers in their formulations, i.e. active surface agents, which have toxic damaging effects on bronchial and lung alveolar tissues. The chemical damage is followed by inflammation, i.e. pneumonia caused by chemicals present in the product formulation.
