No, liable is the one who sold items with this solder, not that supermarket! And for repair it is much easier to use the SnPb solder... You have the same with some car horns, in Germany it is allowed to build in a very big ship fog horn (Tyfon) but it is not allowed to use it...

Subject: [TN] Sn60/Pb40 RoHS???????????
This morning, the other half forced me into a supermarket run by a
German heavy discounter whose name is four letters with the first and
last one being the same.
To my astonishment, I found reels of solder wire with F-SW32 flux core
there, clearly labelled "Electronic solder". Guess what? It was
Sn60Pb40! They can't even claim it was old stock, because the store was
opened only a few months ago, the first on the island.
The solder was made in Wuppertal, Germany, noted for its monorail public
transport system, and was bright, not visibly oxidised, so I presume
reasonably freshly made.
As such solder is sold specifically as a component for electronics
assembly, is L*** on the wrong side of the RoHS Directive? If not, are
they liable if someone uses it to make an item of equipment for sale?
Brian
