According to the law, the labeling of toys must include:

• CE MARK, IN PROPORTIONS ESTABLISHED BY LAW
• AGE GROUP FOR WHICH THE TOY IS INTENDED
• A NUMBER OR CODE (INDICATING, FOR EXAMPLE, TYPE, LOT, SERIES, MODEL) WHICH ALLOW TO IDENTIFY THE TOY
• MANUFACTURER AND IMPORTER NAME
• REGISTERED TRADE NAME OR REGISTERED TRADEMARK
• ADDRESS (TO BE USED FOR CONTACT OR TO REPORT ANY DEFECTS DETECTED)

If the size of the toy does not allow it, the information can be shown on the packaging or written inside a leaflet which must also indicate, in Italian, the instructions for use (for assembling/operating the toy or changing the batteries) and safety information or warnings. The latter, intended for adults, are aimed at preventing risks that could arise from the use of the toy.

For example, for mobiles that hang on cradles and cots or for other trinkets hooked onto pushchairs, playpens and the like with ropes, strings or ribbons, it must be indicated that, to avoid possible injuries from entanglement, the toy must be removed when the child begins to attempt to get up on hands and knees in crawling position.

Another example of a safety warning is the signaling of the presence of a toy inside a food, or sold together with it (such as treats), with the wording Contains toy.

This information must be clearly visible to the person buying the toy, even when the purchase is made online.

The lack of the CE mark and the mandatory information indicates an unlawful condition of the toy
