: Consumer Product Safety Office urges consumers to look out for safety hazards when purchasing baby products and toys online
MR No.: 034/24
The Consumer Product Safety Office (CPSO) has uncovered safety issues in three categories of products for toddlers and children, namely (i) baby bouncers; (ii) baby walkers; and (iii) toys sold on two major e-commerce platforms Shopee and Lazada. This was detected following market surveillance efforts in the first half of 2024, where 23 product samples purchased from the e-commerce platforms were inspected. Of which, 15 samples were found to be unsafe as they did not meet applicable product safety standards under the Consumer Protection (Consumer Goods Safety Requirements) Regulations (CGSR).
