This launch guide maps the topic, the source base and the practical questions. Check the linked official authority before acting on a rule, deadline, price or safety requirement.
What this guide covers
This guide has a section for each product class with the standard behind it and the failure that causes recalls: soft toys and filling, small parts and the choke cylinder, magnets, button batteries and the six-hour rule, water beads, slime and borates, ride-ons and helmets, baby walkers and why several countries advise against them, cot and bed-rail gaps, high chairs, sling and carrier hip position, teething jewellery, noisy toys and hearing, toy cosmetics, and second-hand and marketplace toys with no CE mark.
Each links the live EU Safety Gate alerts for that category so the pages stay current by themselves.
How to use it
Use Toy and children's-product safety to understand the inputs, units and assumptions before relying on an output. A useful result should be reproducible from the named source rather than presented as an unexplained score.
The page keeps the main question, its evidence base and its limits together in one canonical place. That makes it useful as a quick orientation and avoids splitting a broad subject into shallow pages before each narrower answer has enough verified material of its own.
Search vocabulary in four languages
Terminology changes across borders. These are example phrases people use for the same subject in Estonian, Finnish, Russian and English; they are included as a practical vocabulary aid, not as hidden keywords.

| Finnish | lelujen turvallisuus nappiparisto |
| Russian | ребенок проглотил батарейку что делать |

Scope and boundaries
a swallowed battery is an emergency — the page routes to the poison centre and A&E, never to home management.
