We will also update the link to the METI website for the Consumer Product Safety Act.
For magnet sets and water absorbent beads, the Act permits importers and manufacturers a transition period (from June 19 to December 18, 2023) for PSC mark labeling. We will ask sellers to submit documents to confirm product safety and compliance before listing. We will publish help pages with details of the new document review requirements on Recalls and product safety before the end of the transition period.
