Yes, if an employer asks an employee to help violate any law, the employee has the legal right to refuse to do so. (I'm sure there'll be some country where that's not true, but generally...)
The responsible thing to do there would be to work with the employer to come up with a different design that does not have the same issues. If the employer explicitly insists on an illegal design, be sure to save proof that you informed the employer that it's illegal. Beyond that, it's tough and not everyone will be up for continuing the fight, and I don't blame the employees if they don't. A decent employer, however, of which there are many, will be okay with a legal alternative.
