Toy and game product recalls have surged by over 300% globally since 2020. It’s no surprise that toy product safety is a priority for regulators in this space. Incidents in this category require a quick response to protect children, manage costs and minimise reputational damage.
The global toy market is rapidly expanding and was valued at approximately US$325 billion in 2023. As toys play a crucial role in child development, toy product safety is a priority for regulators in this space.
