Proposed EU legislation on protection of toys from harmful chemicals

The EU Council has proposed legislation to increase protection of toys from harmful chemicals. The EU Council has adopted its position on the toy safety regulation that updates the rules to protect children from risks related to the use of toys. It said that while the current legislation makes EU toy safety rules among the strictest in the world, the proposed legislation aims to increase protection from harmful chemicals (eg endocrine disruptors) and reinforce the enforcement rules with a new digital product passport.
