Things to look out for when buying toys
Check the seller - Find out where they're based and read online reviews.
It is genuine? - Check the packaging has a UK address and CE or UKCA mark.
Online marketplaces - Take extra care. Don't assume safety tests have been done.
Be a savvy shopper - Cheapest can mean lowest quality. Shop around and compare with brands.
Keep watching - Check for broken parts, small pieces, stuffing, loose batteries or magnets.
Speak with Citizens Advice consumer helpline if you have a concern about a product you have bought. Telephone 0808 223 1133
