1. In the case of a product safety recall, or where certain information has to be brought to the attention of consumers to ensure the safe use of a product (‘safety warning’), economic operators, in accordance with their respective obligations as provided for in Articles 9, 10, 11 and 12, and providers of online marketplaces in accordance with their obligations as provided for in Article 22(12), shall ensure that all affected consumers that can be identified are notified directly and without undue delay. Economic operators and, where applicable, providers of online marketplaces that collect their customers’ personal data shall make use of that information for recalls and safety warnings.
2. Where economic operators and providers of online marketplaces have in place product registration systems or customer loyalty programs enabling the identification of products bought by consumers for purposes other than contacting their customers with safety information, they shall offer the possibility to their customers to provide separate contact details only for safety-related purposes. The personal data collected for that purpose shall be limited to the necessary minimum and shall only be used to contact consumers in the event of a recall or safety warning.
