Toy Safety and the Law
Toy Safety Directive

On 11 May 2009, the new toy safety Directive was adopted by the European Council. EU sellers should familiarise themselves with this new law, which will replace the twenty year old Directive 88/378/EEC and will require substantive changes to be implemented by the toy industry.

The new Directive is expected to be published in the Official Journal in June 2009. It has been fast-tracked through the legislative procedure, due to the sensitive nature of the product range it covers and concerns which were magnified by a deluge of product recalls of dangerous toys in 2007.
