European Commission press release: provisional political agreement on new EU Toy Safety Regulation (EU) 2025/2509 (chemical bans, DPP, online sales/border enforcement)

The European Commission issued a press release announcing a provisional political agreement between the European Parliament and the Council on the new Toy Safety Regulation (EU) 2025/2509. The release previews expected compliance impacts, including a planned ban of harmful chemicals in toys (explicitly referencing PFAS, endocrine disruptors, and bisphenols), introduction of a mandatory Digital Product Passport (DPP) for toys to improve traceability and compliance checks, and stronger rules for online sales and border/market surveillance. As this is a political agreement stage communication (not the final legal text notice), it is treated as a proposed/pending milestone that signals upcoming obligations and enforcement tooling for supply chains selling toys into the EU market.
