This notice temporarily bans supply of children's art, craft or stationery sets that contain a metal blade unless the outer packaging clearly warns buyers. The required warning must be prominent, easily readable and printed in letters at least 3 mm high. The 18‑month interim measure affects manufacturers, importers and retailers and is intended to prevent unexpected blade injuries by forcing clear disclosure of potentially dangerous contents.
