SINGAPORE: More than 2,900 household appliances sold on major e-commerce platforms this year were unregistered, the Consumer Product Safety Office (CPSO) said on Friday (Dec 17).

These items - which were available via Amazon, Carousell, Ezbuy, Lazada, Qoo10 and Shopee Singapore - also did not bear a valid SAFETY Mark.

Household appliances, which are classified as controlled goods, have to be registered with the CPSO to be issued with an unique SAFETY Mark number. Sellers will then be provided with a valid seal to affix on their products.
