The Consumer Protection Act 1987 provides for the issuing of a Suspension Notice which prohibits a business from supplying goods for a six-month period where there is reason to suspect that provisions in the Act relating to safety have been contravened. A Suspension Notice may be issued when:

• the contravention of a safety provision is suspected and
• the safety provision relates to a matter that poses a significant health or safety risk to the community.

A voluntary undertaking not to distribute the goods shall not in itself preclude the serving of a Suspension Notice.
