Providing confidence in the safety of products for kids.

In an age of unprecedented toy recalls—highlighted by negative media attention and consumer outrage—STR’s credibility in the field of toy safety remains impeccable. From product design to manufacturing to retail, there are dozens of opportunities where a toy or children's item can be compromised.  However safe the design, if the sourcing and manufacturing isn't governed by a solid program assessing quality control, safety and compliance -- your brand is vulnerable. 

As a CPSC accredited laboratory, STR can assist you in complying with the new testing and certification requirements under the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) of 2008. STR maintains state-of-the-art toy testing facilities which provide a wide range of testing, including mechanical safety and lead testing. Our team of engineers, chemists, microbiologists, auditors, inspectors, educators and behavioral scientists assist clients with every aspect of safe toy production, from comprehensive design evaluation to safety testing, audits, inspections and responsible sourcing services.

Our Toy Safety Program brings clients unmatched industry expertise at a critical moment for the industry. CNN, CNBC and MSNBC have profiled STR as one of the leading toy testing companies in the world, and we were instrumental in developing and revising current international standards.
