Today's podcast topic is a very important one because we will talk about toy safety. When you are creating your toy, you want to make sure it is safe for the age group it is intended for and that it follows all regulations of the countries in which you intend to sell your toy. This topic can be scary when you're just starting out, but the goal of today's episode is to connect you with the right resources to help make the process of understanding toy safety a little easier.

My guest today is Toy Safety Consultant, Bill Baxter. Bill has over 20 years of experience in the toy industry and is the Principal at Baxter Regulatory Solutions where he focuses on helping toy businesses meet and understand global safety and compliance regulations. Today, Bill will walk us through what he calls "got ya" moments in toy safety, areas that might trip you up along the way of developing your toy and your toy package.  At the end of the episode, we dive into how safety regulations vary country by country. You'll learn why it's just as difficult to develop the same toy for a new market as it is to develop an entirely new toy!

Let's dive into today's mini masterclass on toy safety.
