As the trade association representing American toy manufacturers, we welcome information from friends and critics alike who identify unsafe toys so that corrective action may be taken. These groups alarm parents and gift-givers needlessly. After long-term studies of hospital emergency room data, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has repeatedly concluded that toys are the safest of 14 categories of products brought into the home.
Toy safety is a major priority for the toy industry.
Toys produced and sold in the United States are more highly regulated and monitored than in any other country in the world. American toy safety standards both federal regulations and the industry's voluntary standard are widely used as models around the globe.
