Abstract (English): Introduction: Communication of hazards related to chemical products is an essential aspect for improving customer confidence in electronic commerce. Objective: To examine the regulated hazard statements for swimming pool chemicals advertised and sold to the public over the Internet. Methodology: We randomly selected 40 hazardous chemicals for swimming pools sold in online stores over the Internet. Data were captured from 8 different companies' websites with headquarters in Andalusia (Spain). Results: Chemical advertisements without visible hazard statements were predominant (n = 25). In all cases, hazard statements on product labels displayed on the websites were illegible. Only 3 chemical products showed codes and visible hazard statements on their website. Conclusion: The protection of e-commerce consumers and customers concerning chemical safety could be compromised due to the lack of relevant information about selling hazardous products over the Internet.

Objetivo: Examinar las indicaciones de peligro reglamentarias asociadas con productos químicos para piscinas puestos a disposición de terceros a través de su publicidad por internet. Metodología: Se seleccionaron aleatoriamente 40 productos químicos peligrosos de piscinas comercializados en tiendas online a través de internet procedentes de 8 empresas con sede social en Andalucía. Resultados: Predominaron los productos sin indicaciones de peligro visibles junto a su publicidad (n=25). Las indicaciones de peligros en las etiquetas de los productos en la web resultaron ilegibles. Únicamente 3 productos mostraron los códigos y frases de peligro visibles en el sitio web. Conclusión: La protección de consumidores y usuarios de comercio electrónico en materia de seguridad química puede verse comprometida debido a la falta de información relevante sobre la peligrosidad de los productos comercializados a través de internet.
