Ohio SB448 regulates health and safety requirements for stuffed toys and bedding.

Ohio SB448 amends the Revised Code to establish health and safety requirements for stuffed toys and bedding. It mandates that manufacturers, sellers, and importers of stuffed toys and bedding register with the superintendent of industrial compliance. The bill prohibits the sale of secondhand stuffed toys and bedding without sanitization. It also defines terms such as "secondhand," "reclaimed material," and "recycled material." The superintendent of industrial compliance can issue variances from certain requirements if strict application is unnecessary for public health and safety.
