Beware of counterfeit products with the European InfoCons App !

In the context of the 2024 European Football Championship, vigilance regarding counterfeit products, especially football items and associated equipment, is important. Counterfeit products not only affect the economy and the sports industry but can also pose risks to the safety and health of citizens. Counterfeit or pirated products are frequently encountered during major events, and purchasing them can be dangerous for consumers.

During Euro 2024, be careful to buy only from trusted sources. By choosing to purchase authentic items, you not only support the industry and your favorite team but also ensure that you receive quality and safe products. Safety and authenticity should be priorities during the European Football Championship to ensure a positive experience!

To find out if a product is counterfeit, InfoCons provides all Euro 2024 participants with the Free European InfoCons App! In the Alerts section of the App, consumers can find out which products have been identified by the European alert system as counterfeit. Users can also search for suspicious products in the app by entering keywords in the search button of the Alerts section.

Through the European InfoCons App, consumers have direct and transparent access to non-food product alerts, updated daily and accompanied by details such as:

  • product name;
  • affected country;
  • risk level;
  • product origin;
  • date the alert becomes effective;
  • image of the product under alert;

 

The European InfoCons App at the 2024 European Football Championship

The European InfoCons App is a useful and free tool, available in German or any of the 33 languages it supports and can be downloaded from the App Store, Google Play, and App Gallery. The European InfoCons App provides users with vital information such as:

  • Quick access to emergency phone numbers worldwide;
  • Customization of the app for those with certain health issues and special dietary requirements by setting the amount of salt, sugar, allergens, numeric, and types of additives;
  • Emergency alerts at the European Union level for personal safety and health;
  • Scanning the barcode of food product labels and instantly providing information in German or any of the other 33 languages in the app about that product: ingredients, numeric and types of additives, amount of sugar and salt, presence of allergens;
  • The presence of an alert according to preferences set regarding food products.
