Which agency regulates baby toys?

• A. FDA
• B. FTC
• C. CPSC
• D. DEA

Answer: (C)

Safe toy safety is handled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. This agency writes and enforces safety standards for consumer products, with special focus on children’s items because of the higher risk to babies and toddlers. They set rules on choking hazards, small parts, sharp edges, toxic materials, labeling, and testing requirements, and they have the authority to order recalls or remove unsafe products from the market.

The FDA regulates foods, drugs, and cosmetics, not general consumer toys. The FTC handles advertising and marketing protections rather than product safety standards. The DEA enforces drug-related laws and illegal substances. So for baby toys, the agency responsible for safety regulation is the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
