The penalty for most offences is well over what is imposed. For example the maximum fine for selling a toy that does not have a CE mark and all the other details is £5,000 and/or six months. Has never happened. In most cases the toys are confiscated and in the case of small toymakers the error of their ways pointed out. The toy does not have to be unsafe for this to happen, just wrongly labelled. For the big boys a recall and seizure hits them a lot more than a fine would.
