  • Abstract
    Many toys manufacturers developed the new products in order to survive in the serious market competition. They relied on the current toys product safety assessment model. In the current toy product safety testing, the third party testing laboratories just followed the mandatory safety regulations and standards to test the products. Some newly developed feature or function of the products were not properly evaluated. It is often found that the products met all mandatory regulations and standards, it still causes the serious accident. In this paper, we discuss the current assessment model by analyzing two accident cases and evaluate the effectiveness of implementing the enhanced toys safety assessment model.
