Save the Date: Toy Association to Host Annual Toy Safety Seminar on Feb. 28
January 24, 2022 | The Toy Association has announced that it will host its annual Toy Safety & Compliance Update virtually on Monday, February 28 from 12:30 to 4 p.m. (Eastern). The educational session will cover critical toy safety updates as well as the industry’s top state, federal, and international legislative and regulatory priorities. All members of the Association’s advocacy committees and their company colleagues are encouraged to attend this free seminar.
Typically held on-site at Toy Fair New York (canceled this year due to ongoing uncertainties related to the pandemic), the Toy Safety & Compliance Update is always a well-attended seminar that helps manufacturers, retailers, toy inventors, testing labs, and others within the toy industry understand the latest news and developments related to toy safety in the U.S. and abroad.
This year’s session will be presented by Toy Association staff, who will address such issues as:
- State chemical laws
- Intellectual property protection, counterfeits & e-commerce
- CPSC updates
- Environmental sustainability
- International safety regulations and trade issues impacting toys
- Children’s online safety
- And more
“We encourage all in the toy community to take advantage of this free opportunity to hear about the laws, standards, and regulations that are in place to keep children safe,” said Ed Desmond, executive vice president of external affairs at The Toy Association.
In addition, The Toy Association’s Advocate of the Year Award for 2021 and 2022 will be presented to two very deserving members who have gone above and beyond in contributing to the External Affairs team’s advocacy efforts.
More information, including the seminar’s zoom link, will be shared in the coming days. Questions about The Toy Association’s educational offerings may be directed to Anne McConnell, senior director of market research & data strategy.
