The EcoWaste Coalition assailed toy manufacturers for their continuous defiance in abiding a law that requires mandatory toy labeling requirements for the safety of the consumers, particularly children.
The group, which advocates for children’s health and safety, said both the compliance of the toy manufacturers and the enforcement on the side of the government is necessary amid the expected increase in sales of toys as gifts for the children on Christmas day.
This, despite the promulgation of the Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act 10620, or the Toy and Game Safety Labeling Act, in January 2019. Lucero stressed the need for adherence to toy labeling requirements since it has been two years since the Food and Drug Administration issued an advisory reiterating the mandatory labeling requirements for toys and child care articles pursuant to RA 10620’s IRR.
The labeling information, which should be visible, easily legible, understandable, and in indelible form, shall be generally written in English and not written in foreign characters.
