Israel has confiscated 41,000 dvd players from China after tests found them “dangerous” due to excessive levels of radiation, which could even result in malfunction of pacemakers, a media report said.
"The increase in cheap imports from China has brought about a phenomenon whereby cheap and low-quality appliances are overflowing the israeli market," general director of standards institution of Israel, Ziva Patir was quoted by Ynetnews as saying.
Tens of thousands of substandard and dangerous DVD players are said to have flooded the country from China.
"Initially, the importer sent the standards institution of Israel a sample DVD player that withstood the tests," Yaakov Ventel, director of the standards institution of Israel’s industry department reportedly said.
