Protect Your Child

Many parents believe that buying a popular brand name product, using a hand-me-down product that has already been "kid-tested", or buying an expensive product means that it will be safe. However, these beliefs do not mean a product is safe.

The problem is that most juvenile products in this country are NOT required to undergo safety testing before they are sold. So regardless of how popular, how new, or how expensive your product is, until there is more stringent mandatory safety testing there is no reliable way to be sure it is safe.

Today there is little mandatory safety testing. Companies can choose to meet voluntary standards, but often those voluntary standards are inadequate to test for hazardous products.
