The scope of this provision is quite broad in that it applies to all children's products including, but not limited to, clothing, shoes, toys, and other regulated products.the manufacturer to ascertain the location and date of production of the product, cohort information (including the batch, run number, or other identifying characteristic), and any other information determined by the manufacturer to facilitate ascertaining the specific source of the product by reference to those marks; and the ultimate purchaser to ascertain the manufacturer or private labeler, location and date of production of the product, and cohort information (including batch, run number, or other identifying characteristic).
