When the hazards that a toy might present cannot be completely addressed by design, the residual risk should be addressed by product-related information directed at the supervisors of the children in the form of warnings, taking into account the capacity of those supervisors to take the necessary precautions. Warnings should always be marked on an affixed label or on the packaging and, if appropriate, on the instructions for use which accompany the toy. Toys which are sold without packaging should have appropriate warnings affixed to them if the surface of the toy allows. If this is not possible, the warnings should be placed on the label. It should also be possible for manufacturers to include warnings in digital format through the digital product passport.
