Chidren Product Safety1
I must tell you that to handle a children's product, you have to learn & understand the rules &
regulation for the Children's Product safety. I gathered experience for children products through
handling the several Key brands such as “mother care” “TCP”, “JCPenney”, “Walmart” and M&S(UK).
Though this was challenging JOB to train vendors for the Children Product, especially for the MC.
Hence reviewed the brand requirement & country regulation for the UK & Americans government.
Developed & onboarded around 20 factories for handling the children product for mother care.
We together generated the safety guidelines for the supplier development for the children safety.
Children Product:
"children's product" as a consumer product designed or intended primarily for children
03 years and 12 years of age or younger. The product which buy for our lovely Kids.
