Completely agree with your comment.
What makes me annoyed about statements like "this will reduce the amount of child labour used to produce X" is that they're almost never followed up with an explanation on how to deal with the fallout of the loss of income for the affected families. It's a marketing strategy to make consumers feel good about not supporting child labour, not about improving the lives of those children.
I didn't include it in my comment, but my suggestion would be to put a tax on a product like this that is used to replace the lost income of these families.
It would have to be global to reach a scale that would have the required impact, which means that it will, unfortunately, never happen.
