Bira supported the PRAM Act, which will create new powers to target emerging dangers and hold online marketplaces accountable for dangerous products sold through their platforms, creating a level playing field with bricks and mortar stores. Andrew Goodacre, CEO of Bira, said: "For far too long, online shopping for electrical and electronic items has been a dangerous lottery in terms of product safety, putting customers unnecessarily at risk.

This new Act levels the playing field and ensures consumer safety is paramount, whether shopping online or on the high street."
