A tobacco retailer in Söderköping is to pay 10,000 kronor in penalty fees. This after the Chemicals Agency found a snuff packaging whose type lacked child-protective closure, reports P4 Östergötland.
Child-protective closures are intended to make it difficult for small children to access the contents, where a certain level of coordination is required to open.
According to the store, it was an old packaging they had received and that there were now new ones – with the correct protection. But the Chemicals Agency believes that it contravenes the Environmental Code's regulations and the company needs to pay an environmental penalty fee.
