Ohio HB873 establishes health and safety requirements for stuffed toys and bedding, including labeling and sanitation standards.

Ohio HB873 amends the Revised Code to set health and safety standards for stuffed toys and bedding. It prohibits the sale of unlabeled or falsely labeled bedding and stuffed toys, mandates sanitation for secondhand items, and requires manufacturers to register with the state. The bill also allows manufacturers to request variances from certain requirements if strict application is unnecessary for public health and safety. The Department of Commerce is tasked with updating administrative code labeling requirements for stuffed toys.
