The new additions to the Register of Dangerous Products are terry towels measuring 50×90 cm. The manufacturer of the bath accessories is Turon Vodiy Teks LLC from Uzbekistan, and the importer is the Kobrin-based joint limited liability company PP Polesie. The list includes items in dark gray, light blue, and indigo.

The State Standardization Committee explained that terry towels should "absorb" at least 80 mm of water within half an hour on first contact. However, for the tested items, the safety indicator "capillarity" was 22, 23, and 27 mm per 30 minutes.

Starting tomorrow, bans on the sale, import, and circulation of the towels have been introduced.
