Applying toy tests to consumer products

Many electronic products commonly found in the household are not considered children's products and are not regulated as such. However, these products may still be accessible to children, and in some cases, they may have designs that make them appealing to young children. Toddlers and young children will pick up and play with devices ranging from remote controls to cell phones. Although regulations may not require testing such products to the standards applicable to toys, doing so can reduce the risk that misuse or abuse of the product by young children will result in injury.
