Incautación de mil frascos de un insecticida prohibido contra las chinches

La DGCCRF de Francia se incautó de más de mil frascos del insecticida prohibido “Sniper 1000”, vetado debido a su contenido en diclorvos. El producto está relacionado con un aumento de las intoxicaciones, incluyendo cuatro muertes según la Anses. Las incautaciones se produjeron en 2023 y 2024 en el marco de investigaciones sobre un importante tráfico, especialmente en la región de Île-de-France.

La Anses lanzó una alerta el lunes sobre el “Sniper 1000”, un insecticida contra las chinches prohibido en Francia debido a su alto contenido en diclorvos, una sustancia altamente tóxica. La agencia registró más de 206 intoxicaciones entre 2018 y junio de 2023, cifra que aumentó a 351 casos desde principios de 2023 hasta finales de 2025. De estos, seis de cada diez afectaron a mujeres, siendo la mayoría casos leves, aunque uno de cada diez presentó una gravedad moderada, con cuatro víctimas mortales. La DGCCRF declaró que inspeccionó más de mil establecimientos en sus investigaciones. En 2023, se incautaron “cerca de 1130 frascos de Sniper 1000 y Shooter 1000” y se eliminaron más de 530 anuncios en línea. Las inspecciones continuaron durante 2025-2026, lo que llevó a la retirada de más de 275,000 productos de consumo peligrosos en total. La Anses destacó un “tráfico importante”, especialmente en Île-de-France, tras su alerta sobre este “número creciente de intoxicaciones”.
