On April 3, 2026, Japan's Cabinet approved amendments to the Order for Enforcement of the Consumer Product Safety Act, designating child bed guards (for children up to 60 months) and strollers (for children up to 36 months) as specified products for children. These products must now meet technical standards and carry labels including the Children PSC Mark, intended age range, and usage precautions before sale in Japan. Enforcement begins July 8, 2026, requiring manufacturers, importers, and distributors to ensure compliance with the new requirements.
