Product Safety

Product safety refers to the principles and practices aimed at ensuring that products are designed and manufactured in a way that minimizes risks to consumers and end-users. It involves assessing products for potential hazards that could cause injury, illness, or damage upon use. Product safety encompasses various aspects, including compliance with safety standards, conducting risk assessments, testing materials and designs, and providing clear instructions and warnings.

Organizations and regulatory bodies develop guidelines and regulations to establish safety criteria for a wide range of consumer goods, including toys, electronics, food items, and pharmaceuticals. The goal of product safety initiatives is to protect consumers from harm and to ensure that products function as intended without posing unacceptable risks. Manufacturers, retailers, and distributors are responsible for upholding these safety standards throughout the production and distribution processes.
