The Austrian RAPEX-contact-point would like to withdraw notification nr. 0812/10 Elbow Shock Absorber and asks you to remove the notification permanently from the RAPEX-System.
The reason is, that the Belgium authorities have classified this product as a medical device and the Austrian authority for medical devices does not think, that the notified problem has to be seen as a systematical failure of the product. The content of mercury is not seen as a problem.
The Austrian authorities, competent for general product safety, are still concerned about the high amount of mercury, but because of the classification as medical device, there is no further possibility to ban the product on the basis of the product safety act.
