Product Safety & Standards
Why Is Product Safety Important?
Toys must be manufactured to meet, fulfil and exceed particular criteria ensuring that when imported and placed on the market, they uphold the safety standard. Consumers can then buy in the knowledge that certain conditions have been met. We are serious about product safety testing and play value. We want kids to learn through play, and be safe when doing so.
