California Children’s Toys Product Liability Laws
There are laws in place to protect your children from unsafe toys. In 2008, the federal government passed the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act. This act was passed after several toys made by Mattel and Fisher-Price were found to contain lead and other harmful chemicals. The 2008 law requires third-party testing of almost any object meant for children. Companies face stiff penalties for selling toys that violate this rule.
The ASTM F963 or Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Toy Safety is the specific U.S. law that pertains to all toys sold in the United States. This bill includes additional guidelines and rules that toy companies must follow to prevent kids from injuries due to sharp edges, choking and other hazards. The law covers defects in design, manufacturing, and precautions.
Here are some examples of defects:
- The design of the product is faulty.
- The toy has a flaw because of manufacturing.
- The toy maker failed to warn parents that toys may be dangerous.
Injuries that might occur because of the above defects include:
- Suffocation
- Choking
- Burns
- Falls
