While buying the hottest and trendiest Minot Office: toys for your child may be the first thing that crosses your mind, CPSC wants to remind you that safety should always come first. Every year, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) receives many reports of kids younger than 15 who end up in hospital emergency rooms with toy-related injuries. Last year, kids in this age group experienced more than 174,100 toy-related ER-treated injuries and 7 deaths. Riding toys, specifically non-motorized scooters, were the toy category associated with the most injuries and nearly half of toy-related deaths in 2016. Most of the toy-related injuries involved cuts and bruises with the head and face being the most commonly affected parts of the body. When buying toys remember these great tips: Choose toys with care. Keep in mind the child’s age, interests and skill level. Look for quality design and construction in toys for all ages. Make sure that all directions or instructions are clear– to you and, when appropriate, to the child. Plastic wrappings on toys should be discarded at once before they become deadly playthings.

  • Toy Gun Manufacturers: a New Target for Negligent Marketing Liability
    TOY GUN MANUFACTURERS: A NEW TARGET FOR NEGLIGENT MARKETING LIABILITY Cynthia A. Brown* I. INTRODUCTION Modern American history chronicles the 1990s and 2000s as decades imbued with high-profile violent events that left a wide wake of injury, maiming and death.1 Throughout the years between 1990 and 2010, public exposure highlighted brutalities occurring across the United States. The decade’s deadly incidents poignantly portrayed by the media, the mass of violent acts receiving less media attention, particularly youth offender violence, and the spread of violent crime from the city centers to the suburbs and rural areas2 prompted health experts to increasingly characterize violence in the 1990s as a “public health epidemic.”3 Unfortunately, the decade that followed ushered in the 21st century with little in the way of inoculation against crime. The century began with the unimaginable events of 9/11 and a new era in high-profile violence. With the world watching, America endured the terrorists’ attacks in Washington, D.C., New York and Pennsylvania, and America experienced a new dimension of vulnerability. It is, therefore, not surprising that the tragic outcomes of two decades of expansive media coverage of extreme violence energized both gun control advocates and second amendment proponents, intensifying an already heated gun control debate. Civil suits also grew in number as victims and survivors demanded accountability. Many plaintiffs targeted gun manufacturers more often as some companies’ marketing strategies revealed intentional appeals to individuals with criminal intentions. Negligent marketing theory provided a novel legal approach directed at weapons manufacturers and distributors that achieved limited success.

  • Gel Blasters Fact Sheet
    FACT SHEET Gel Blasters What is a Gel Blaster? A gel blaster (or gel ball blaster, hydro blaster, gel gun) is a life-like toy gun designed to shoot a gel pellet that has been soaked in water (similar to an Orbeez). Gel blasters are similar to a paintball gun and are becoming more popular for use in activities similar to paintball skirmish and laser tag. Gel blasters are not prohibited in Queensland and do not require a permit or license to keep. They need to be used responsibly and in accordance with relevant laws and requirements (e.g. importation permits, noise, parking, etc.). Please refer to the information below, and visit Council's webpage on Local Laws. Do I need approval? Depending on where you are using gel blasters, and on what scale (i.e. how many people participating, how often), you may need approval from Council. Use Approval Description of proposed development required? Private use No Where gel blasters are being used for skirmish by the resident of a house (Dwelling house) (residents at and their family and/or friends, there is no Council approval required. It is strongly home) recommended that you: • do not advertise your skirmish event on social media, SMS or word of mouth; and • refer to the Party Safe Program information provided by the Queensland Police. Indoor sport Yes Where gel blasters are being used for commercial purposes in an indoor setting the activity is and defined as Indoor sport and recreation. Indoor sport and recreation means the use of recreation premises for a leisure, sport or recreation activity conducted wholly or mainly indoors.

  • Airsoft a Nonlethal Form of Firearm Currently Illegal Within Australia
    This is a submission to the committee on Personal choice and community impacts This submission deals with Airsoft a Nonlethal form of firearm currently illegal within Australia. Can this be made legal. In 2002 the firearms act was amended in Western Australia to make paintball legal even though it is not a recognised sport in Australia. Meanwhile in the rest of the world it has lead to sports that are enjoyed by hundreds of thousands. Airsoft A brief description of what Airsoft is. Airsoft is a sport that has developed out of what were called BB guns in the 1980’s and early 1990’s. They were developed in Japan due to paintball being illegal in that country. A tagger used in airsoft consists of a simulated weapon made of plastic, Pot- metal or aluminium that ejects a round sphere 6 or 8mm in size made of either plastic or corn starch with a gluten coating (referred to as bio rounds as they break down quickly) with a weight of 0.12 up to 0.42 grams. Airsoft as a sport/recreational activity is enjoyed by 100,000’s around the world. By all ages and sexes. In the attached world map (Appendix A) you may note that every country in the world we would consider peers play the sport of airsoft. In Australia it is not however recognised as a sport due to the current illegal status. However with over 20 publications in half a dozen languages and hundreds of stores online plus the actual reference in Law to the sport of airsoft in both New Zealand’s firearms law and other countries it would be disingenuous to not proscribe it at least the recreational game/sport status that paintball enjoys in this Country.
