Authors

Judith Fryer Biggs

Abstract

This article will explore how and why an industry of this magnitude was excluded from coverage under the Consumer Product Safety Act and what effect this exclusion has on consumer safety. It will look at the history and present status of federal regulation of the toy industry and conclude with a recommendation for a system more equitable to both consumer and manufacturer.
