More than 600 toy companies have been canceled export license
In 2008, China continued its efforts to strengthen the "Made in China" brand, focusing on improving product quality and food safety. The State Council Information Office held two press conferences, where various ministries responsible for quality control and food safety presented their strategies. On the 14th, Pu Changcheng, Deputy Director of the State General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, outlined the progress made during a special campaign targeting product quality and food safety.
During this period, over 600 toy companies lost their export licenses due to non-compliance with quality standards. This move came as Chinese toy manufacturers faced a severe industry crisis, marked by multiple product recalls that damaged their international reputation. Pu Changcheng highlighted the different scenarios behind these recalls, noting that while some were not the fault of Chinese exporters, the quality inspection authorities still conducted a thorough review of all toy manufacturers, particularly those involved in exporting.
The department carried out a comprehensive inventory check of more than 3,000 enterprises engaged in the production and supply of export toys. Pu revealed that over 600 companies had their export permits revoked due to weak quality assurance systems and inconsistent product quality. In response to these challenges, the quality inspection authorities mandated that all toy manufacturers establish robust quality management systems and conduct rigorous testing on every product.
Even if toys were produced according to foreign designs and met the standards set by importing countries, Chinese authorities required re-testing to ensure safety compliance. This initiative aimed to restore consumer confidence and reinforce the credibility of Chinese-made products in global markets.
