(BPT) - As you shop for the little ones in your life, it's important to keep safety top of mind. While toys sold by responsible brands and retailers must comply with over 100 rigorous U.S. federal safety standards and tests before reaching consumers, many knockoff toys sold by online marketplaces and third-party sellers may not comply with these standards, making their toys potentially unsafe. In fact, according to a recent survey of 1,000 U.S. parents commissioned by The Toy Association™, a whopping 80% of parents say it's getting harder to spot counterfeit toys — up from 75% in 2024.
To help all kids stay safe, The Toy Association helped develop the first comprehensive toy safety standard over 40 years ago, and remains committed to working with medical experts, government officials, consumers and the industry on ongoing programs to ensure safe and fun play.
