The instrument bans art, craft and stationery sets marketed for children that contain an undeclared metal‑bladed knife or cutter, unless the outside packaging clearly declares the blade in lettering at least 3 mm high. It chiefly affects manufacturers, importers, distributors and retailers (labelling, redesign or recall costs); non‑compliance can trigger compulsory recalls under the Competition and Consumer Act.
