Stuffed toy recalls
December 23, 2015
CUTE doesn’t necessarily mean
safe, as any parent knows, and
retailers are finding again that some
toys in front of shop can actually
be hazardous to young children,
the Australian Competition and
Consumer Commission’s (ACCC)
pre-Christmas safety check warns.
Out of 3,300 toys marketed in
stores and online, the ACCC has
found seven potentially dangerous
toys that fail mandatory safety
requirements.
The reminder comes at a critical
time as toy sales rocket during the
Christmas rush.
“Children are particularly
vulnerable as consumers, and
unsafe toys shouldn’t reach their
hands at any time,” ACCC deputy
chair Delia Rickard said.
