Thule has conducted a risk assessment on the potentially affected products in accordance with the EU method for risk assessment for non-food consumer products, found in Part III, Appendix 6 of the RAPEX Guidelines. Consequently, by combining the severity of the harm with the probability, Thule has classified the risk as low.
