Christmas Product Safety Survey 2015

This year’s product safety survey saw NSW Fair Trading inspect 773 business premises across NSW and examine products designed for children under 36 months of age, projectile toys and aquatic toys. The following 83 children’s toys were found to be non-compliant during this year’s survey. The 83 non-compliant children’s products have been removed from store shelves in the lead-up to Christmas 2015. Fair Trading investigators found the non-compliant items on sale across NSW during the annual Christmas product safety survey in October 2015.
