On the TEMU platform, there are a wide variety of children’s toys. However, in order to ensure that the products comply with relevant regulations and safety standards, sellers need to understand and comply with warning information. This article will deeply interpret the compliance of children’s toys and provide sellers with important references on warning information to protect the rights and interests of consumers.
1. Interpretation of children’s toy compliance.
According to the regulations of overseas regulatory agencies, warning information must be clearly, easily recognizable, easy to understand, and accurately marked on the labels and packaging of children’s toys. The following is an interpretation of children’s toy compliance provided by the TEMU platform, which provides sellers with valuable reference opinions to ensure the quality and compliance of products.
2. Precautions for warning information.
Language: Warning information should comply with the requirements of the country of sale and be written in a language that is easy for consumers in the country of sale to understand. For example, products sold to France should include a French version to ensure the greatest degree of consumer understanding.
Content: The word “Warning” or “Warnings” should be indicated before the warning information, and the prescribed warning words should be displayed according to the toy category. This helps consumers quickly identify the risks and precautions of the product.
Posting location: Warning information can be displayed on the toy, on the label, or on the product packaging. At the same time, the corresponding warning information can also be attached to the instruction manual attached to the toy to raise consumers’ vigilance.
3. Age segmentation labeling.
Compliant children’s toys should indicate the minimum applicable age on the product body or the smallest retail package. If the product does not clearly indicate the applicable age, it will be tested according to the most stringent applicable requirements to ensure the safety of the product.
4. Safety signs and warnings
Safety signs and warnings should be expressed in the official language of the country of sale, including choking risk warnings. There are some differences in the labeling requirements in different regions. The following are examples from the United States and the European Union:
United States:
The labeling consists of: a warning sign (an exclamation mark in an equilateral triangle), an information word (caution or warning), and a hazard description statement. For toys with small parts that pose a choking risk, the warning should be displayed on the main viewing surface of the product, and the font size should be adjusted according to the area of the main viewing surface of the packaging.
Specific examples: Toys not suitable for children under 36 months, activity toys/playground equipment, functional toys, chemical toys, children’s toy skates, etc., all have corresponding warning examples.
EU:
Label composition: It consists of an information word (Warning or Warnings) and a hazard description statement.
