Is the sale of novelties illegal? An explanation of points to consider when selling or producing them.
"Is selling novelties illegal?" "What should you be aware of when selling them?" Do you have these questions?
Novelty items cannot be sold because they do not have quality labels. Selling them without quality labels would be illegal. If you want to commercialize and sell them, make sure to include quality labels in accordance with the Household Goods Quality Labeling Act. Additionally, during the production stage of novelty items, it is important to pay attention to "copyright," "portrait rights," "trademark rights," and the "Prize Labeling Act." If you inadvertently violate the law due to a lack of understanding, you could face penalties, which could damage the company's image. Even if you produce high-quality novelty items, it would be counterproductive if they do not comply with the law. When producing novelty items, make sure to understand the basic laws before starting the process.

basic information
Promotional items like novelties cannot be sold as a basic rule. Products for sale are required to have household goods quality labeling. However, novelties are not required to have this labeling, so most of them do not include household goods quality information. Selling items without household goods quality labeling is illegal as it violates the "Household Goods Quality Labeling Act." Selling novelties without this labeling means that only the business profits without providing appropriate information to consumers. In the unfortunate event that a consumer is injured or an accident occurs due to the purchase of a product, it could lead to significant liability issues that jeopardize the company's existence. Ignorance is not an excuse. If you plan to sell novelties as products, make sure to understand the Household Goods Quality Labeling Act and provide labeling in accordance with the law.
