Summary

Dangerous kids’ toys and products are still slipping through major online marketplaces like Amazon, Temu, and AliExpress — including fake cigarettes, toy lighters, and flammable clothing — thanks to loopholes that let third-party sellers off the hook. Consumer group CHOICE is sounding the alarm, pushing for stronger safety rules like those in the EU, while the ACCC takes action against unsafe items like toddler backpacks with hidden button batteries and magnetic toys. Some products have been pulled after complaints, and Amazon says safety is top priority — but with global sellers, the fight to keep Aussie kids safe is far from over.
