This follow-up tracker survey was commissioned by the Office for Product Safety and Standards from YouGov and includes comparisons against previous waves where applicable. Its main objective was to understand consumers’ awareness of and attitudes to a range of product safety issues to gain new insight on OPSS policy areas, building on existing research and evidence and considering vulnerabilities and vulnerable groups. It explored topical policy areas including online purchases, the circular economy, and personal light electronic vehicles. Its findings were based on a representative sample of 10,182 people from across the UK with a supporting telephone survey of 250 people who are very low or non-internet users.
