CCH Book Has Latest Toy Safety Guidelines
(RIVERWOODS, ILL., March 13, 2003) – To make sure that toys truly
are a source of joy, CCH INCORPORATED (CCH), a leading provider of
business law information and publisher of the CCH Consumer Product
Safety Guide has published Toy Safety: Make Playtime a Safe
Time. (53 pages, $5.50
single copy price. For more information or to order, call 1-800-248-3248
or visit
business.cch.com/onlinestore.)
Toy Safety is geared to
consumers — parents and any other individuals —concerned with
selecting toys that are safe for children. Written in conjunction with
SAFE/Safer America for Everyone, a consumer advocacy group headed up
by Ann Brown, former Chairperson of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), the pamphlet incorporates the age guidelines for
toys issued by the CPSC on November 18, 2002 — the agency's first
revision of policy in that area in several years.
In addition to recommendations for toy purchases based on a child's
age, abilities and developmental levels, the pamphlet includes
sections on avoiding common injury-causing hazards, as well as what to
do if a toy is recalled. It also provides handy checklists of
appropriate toys for each specific age group, such as infants,
toddlers and preschoolers.
"Toy Safety is an ideal vehicle for toy manufacturers
and retailers to demonstrate their concern for the proper selection
and safe use of their products," said Georgia Koutouzos, CCH
consumer law analyst.
