Toy safety and product liability

When it comes to children’s toys, safety and product liability is an important but contentious issue. Kids will swallow just about anything that will fit in their mouths and small, sharp toy parts have been known to cause penetrative personal injuries.

Do you remember when Buzz Light-year flew off the shelves a few Christmases a go, leaving adults anxious and children perplexed? Kids are always demanding the newest toys whether the latest craze is Bratz or a dancing Elmo, they want one. But before we give into their whims it is essential that we check how safe these toys really are to avoid any serious personal injuries being sustained.

When considering product liability, it is essential that all toys sold in the UK meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 1995. Toys must feature the CE marking along with the name and address of the person who first placed the toy on the market. The CE marking is not a mark of safety or quality aimed at consumers. It shows the enforcement authorities that all toys bearing it are intended for sale in the EC and signifies a declaration by the manufacturer that the toys have the necessary safety requirements applicable to them.
