A story from the New York Times this week explained how companies are trying to duck the new rules about toy safety—which have not even been completely explained yet. (Click here to read the story.) The Consumer Product Safety Commission will vote on the “definition” of a children’s product sometime soon, although it has postponed such a vote on three occasions already.
The impending policies are one one outcome of the wave of toy recalls that happened beginning in 2007.
Implications: It is not my intention to start a political conversation about new regulations (although that is a tempting proposition). But I raise this issue because… if it is confusing for policy makers and toy manufacturers, the regulatory process and outcome will surely cause confusion for consumers.
If you sell products that are intended for children’s use, can you be a of clarity, as well as reliability?
