The Philippines cracks down on heavy metals in toys and cosmetics.

  • 2013-11-28

The Philippines has passed a law mandating safety labeling for toys and games. Under the country's consumer law, product packaging must clearly display warning statements.

The environmental watchdog EcoWaste Coalition welcomed the law, hoping it would help address the problem of deceptive toy labeling in the Philippines. According to a 2012 survey of commercially available toys conducted by the Coalition, 60% of the 518 toys sampled had excessive levels of heavy metals such as antimony, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, and mercury. None of these problematic products had warning labels.

In addition, the Philippine Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned citizens against purchasing lipsticks that have not been registered with the FDA, as they may contain high levels of lead and other heavy metals. According to the FDA, most of these substandard products originate from China or are counterfeit goods sold by street vendors on main streets. The agency has called on local authorities to confiscate these products.

For detailed information on the safety labelling law for toys and games, please refer to the official website (English): http://www.gov.ph/2013/09/03/republic-act-no-10620/
