On 23 June, Utrecht ľ�ϸ���Ӱ��, the European Commission and AENOR are hosting a webinar  “Protect Your Community: Influencers and Product Safety”

📅 Date: 23 June 2025
🕥 Time: 10:30–12:00 CEST

Unsafe product ads can harm your audience – and your credibility. Whether it's a toy that doesn't meet safety standards, a beauty product with hidden allergens, or even digital content that misleads about health benefits, influencers have the power to shape choices and behaviors. Without careful vetting, promoting unsafe goods and services – even unknowingly – can put followers at risk and expose creators to legal consequences.

This webinar, which will be added as a resource to the European Commission’s , brings together regulators, content creators, and academics to explore how influencers can protect their communities and stay compliant with EU safety laws.
