Kids Retractable Wheel Roller Skate Shoes

[SteveJ]

Hi

Can anyone tell me if they are selling these in the Markets and if so an idea of the price?

[puma]

bought some for the granddaughter off ebay a good price

[Jacqui Harvey]

If they are selling them in the markets, there is no way I would allow my Granddaughter to wear them.
Best to buy a pair in the U.K that are tested and are approved for children. Safety is always paramount for kids.

He asked for a price not a health & safety lecture  :

He asked for a price, for a reason, he wants to buy some.  Health and Safety not a big issue in Turkey. A child with a broken leg may be worth the cheap Turkish prices.

Hi Pumes - how much did you pay and can you remember the site? 

Jacqui - most if not all of the shoes purchased in any reputable high steet store in the UK will have been manufactured in China, the same as the hooky one sold on Calis market. The ones sold in the UK are unlikely to be any better or safer than those sold in Turkey but they will definately be a lot more expensive. I thank you for your concern for the welfare of my grandkids, let me know where to drop them off next weekend as I would like to go to The Races

Toys imported into the U.K by any country must adhere to our very strict rules and have the C.E. mark on them.  Toys imported from China to Turkey do need any rules to be sold in the markets.

Nonsense.  Turkey adopted the same import requirements as the EU (in respect of the CE Mark) about twelve years ago.  If these skates are classed as a "toy" then the aptly named Toy Directive was adopted by Turkey in April 2004.

That said, there will always be goods imported that fall short of the required standard (false product testing, fraudulent TUV/CE marking etc) and you are just as likely to be sold them in the UK as you are in Turkey.
