Christmas Product Safety Survey 2016 This year’s product safety survey from 4 October 2016 to 14 October 2016 saw NSW Fair Trading inspect 746 business premises across NSW. Officers examined 10,727 individual product lines including those designed for children under 36 months of age, projectile toys and aquatic toys. The following 47 picture children’s toys were found to be non-compliant during this year’s survey. Those non-compliant children’s products have now been removed from store shelves in the lead-up to Christmas 2016 and enforcement action will follow. The toys that failed independent testing or were deemed automatic fails due to labelling issues are broken down as follows:
Children’s toys – 39 Consumer Protection Notice 14 of 2003 Consumer Product Safety Standard Toys for Children up to and including 36 months of age Toys for children under 36 months must comply with AS/NZS ISO 8124.1:2002 Safety of Toys Part 1: Safety aspects related to mechanical and physical properties. The standard restricts the supply of toys manufactured, designed, labelled or marketed for a child of an age less than 36 months which have dangerous small parts which represent an inhalation and ingestion hazard.
Projectile toys - 6 Consumer Protection Notice No.16 of 2010 Consumer Product Safety Standard for Children’s Projectile Toys for children up to and including fourteen years of age
Toys that are capable of firing any projectile must comply with AS/NZS ISO 8124.1:2002 Safety of Toys Part 1: Safety aspects related to mechanical and physical properties. The standard requires projectile toys to pass a kinetic energy test, have a protective tip on the projectiles that does not become detached, and to ensure that projectiles do not pose choking or inhalation hazards. In addition, the Standard restricts the supply of projectile toys that are capable of discharging any improvised projectiles such as nails or coins.
Aquatic toys - 2 Consumer Protection Notice No. 2 of 2009 Consumer Product Safety Standard for Aquatic Toys Children’s aquatic toys must comply with certain provisions of AS/NZS ISO 8124.1:2002 Safety of toys Part 1: Safety aspects related to mechanical and physical properties with variations. The Australian Standard specifies labelling for aquatic toys intended for children under 14 years of age to minimise the risk of drowning.
