Chemical safety of toys was not the main concerns of customers because they think that toys in the market are safe. However, recall cases pointed out that there may be some problems in the current chemical safety assessment method in toys.

The safety assessment methodologies were evaluated and their limitations were discussed. Finally a proposed chemical safety evaluation approach was suggested.
