This is a great example of good intention and awful execution.
Getting that label on a child’s toy should provide a parent with useful information. What’s the harmful chemical and where on the product is it located? Is it acid in the battery? Is it the grease between some moving parts that can end up in a kids mouth? Is it the paint on a high-wear surface?
Instead, we have labels that are on half of everything sold in stores with no easy way to find out what exactly manufacturers are referring to. It’s worthless.
