Every year in Australia, an estimated 2,500 children under three years old present to hospital emergency departments because of injuries from unsuitable or dangerous toys. The Albanese Government has approved, following consultation and advice from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), a new mandatory safety standard for toys marketed at children under three years. The new safety standard focuses on minimising choking and suffocation risks for small children. Toys including rattles and teethers, commonly found in the homes of everyday Australian families, are among the items most often recalled by the ACCC.
