Test It Now! A Grassroots Awareness Campaign for Children's
Product Safety (TIN) —
launched in September 2002.
The goal is simple: to set strict safety standards and to require independent certification for durable
children’s products before these products hit the shelves.
Test It Now focuses on creating a safer world for children in three ways:
- Bring the minefield of dangerous children’s products to the public’s attention.
- Encourage policymakers to correct the lopsided children’s product system.
- Challenge the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to stop dangerous products from reaching consumers.
Currently, there are no mandatory safety standards or testing requirements for most children’s products.
And the voluntary standards set by children’s product manufacturers are inadequate. This is why KID wants
manufacturers to Test It Now!
As always, KID is dedicated to the urgent task of protecting children from
dangerous and recalled children’s products. However, KID believes recalled products
are a symptom of a greater problem: an ineffective juvenile product system.
What is a durable children’s product?
A durable children’s product is an item used for an extended time period, over and over again.
Such as:
cribs
highchairs
strollers
car seats

swings
play yards
bath seats
walkers
