Turkey goods in Bulgaria: over-represented

Goods made in Turkey are 14% of the consumer product recalls Bulgaria publishes and 6.7% of its consumer-goods imports by value in 2023, which makes them over-represented. Recall counts and trade values are collected by different institutions for different purposes; the comparison is a ratio test, not a rate.

It separates “this origin gets pulled a lot” from “this origin ships a lot”, which is the difference between a risk and a headline.

Outcome

Held since January 1, 2005What repeatedly happened when brands acted. The earliest date we are willing to say this held. It may well have been true before that; we do not backdate a record past the evidence we have read. Supported, version 1.

This entry is wrong if

Recomputing both shares — recalls from the OECD portal, imports from UN Comtrade over the same HS basket — moves the ratio across 1.5, changing the verdict.
