The 20- year old safety prescriptions are no longer sufficient to assure that new toys entering the market are completely safe. An adjustment is therefore necessary. The most vulnerable consumers are children, and so they must be protected as good as possible
Representatives of the European Union, USA and China want safer toys for children. They are willing to work together to increase the product safety. However, no agreements have been reached on when the standards have to be reached. Their main purpose is to extend information about which products could be dangerous. They support also stronger control on the import, especially on toys from China.
The discussion about safer toys became a topic of the day, when last year a child died after swallowing a little magnet that was incorporated in the product. This accident happened in China. As a result, the American toy giant Mattel took 18 million articles out of retail.
