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.
