Is this a new frontend to Rapex? Did they rename Rapex?

Because consumer safety warnings (often toys with swallowing/strangulating hazards) have been available on some EU web site for years (decades, probably).

Yeah they changed the name in 2019 (DECISION (EU) 2019/417), but it has existed since 2001. The name change was "For external communication reasons", probably due to it being read as "rape-x"
Not to be confused with RapeX:
