    Summary

    The Swedish Consumer Agency is a governmental body, which oversees that legislationpertaining to the safety standards of products such as toys, and the Swedish ProductSafety Act, is adhered to. As part of this task, the Agency carried out a market survey of

    projectile firing toys during the summer of 2001.

    The intention of the survey was to find out if toys of this type, that were available in theSwedish market, fulfilled current safety requirements.

    70 different projectile firing toys were included in the survey. In all, 89 toys werepurchased. However, some of those bought were of the same make and type.

    16 toys fulfilled the requirements of the standard (19 including the toys that were of thesame kind).

    3 broke before the tests could be carried out (4 including the toys that were of the same

    kind).

    11 could not be tested for kinetic energy.

    9 toys were of the catapult type and are, therefore, not included in the Toy Standard. (11including the toys that were of the same kind)

    8 toys failed to fulfil the safety requirements as specified in the Toy Standard (16including the toys that were of the same kind).

    23 toys did not carry warning texts in accordance with the Standard. (28 including thetoys that were of the same kind)

    The Product Safety Act

    If a product that is sold in the open market does not fulfil relevant safety legislation and does not complywith the demands as stated in the standard, then the person responsible for that toy should, in accordancewith the Product Safety Act, take any actions necessary to increase safety. The seller can, for example, be

    ordered by the Market Court to cease sales of a particular toy. Non-compliance will result in a fine beingimposed. The seller can also be ordered to recall toys that have already been sold. Recalls can be madeeither from the retailer/toy store or from consumers. Information about recalls are usually published innewspapers to ensure that as many people as possible are aware that the item should be returned. Theperson responsible for the sale of the toy can also be ordered to include a warning text or other safetyinformation with the product.

    In reality, only a few cases are referred the Market Court. Instead, the normal practice is that the personresponsible for the toy voluntarily takes any actions necessary after discussions with the Consumer Agency

    Background

    Legislation states that projectile firing toys may not be constructed in such a way thatthey can cause injury to the eyes. The regulations which govern this are specifiedaccording to Swedish Standard SS-EN 71-1 Safety of toys-Part1: Mechanical and

    physical properties. The Agencys opinion is that projectile firing toys that canpotentially cause eye injury to children should not be available in the shops. The Agencyhas, therefore, carried out a market survey of various kinds of projectile firing toys tofind out if this is the case.

    There are a number of different projectile firing toys available in the shops. Theseinclude:

    Projectile toys without stored energy (the velocity of the projectile is determinedby the child that uses the toy). Toys in this category include projectiles in theform of darts and toys with firing mechanisms, which comprise a handle and an

    axel, which rotates when the child pulls a string. Bows and arrows are alsoprojectile toys without stored energy.

    Projectile toys with stored energy. These include guns and rifles where thevelocity of the projectile is determined by a spring fitted inside the toy, whichhas a discharge mechanism.

    Injuries

    Eye injuries can be caused by an impact to the eye as the result of a poorly constructedtoy. This may include a sharp object, which either scratches or penetrates the retina. Thisis known as puncture damage.

    It may also be that a blunt instrument causes damage (contusion) where the inner part ofthe eye is damaged. The fact that there is no complete, national injury reporting systemin Sweden means that it is impossible to accurately determine how many accidents withserious eye injury occur each year.

    Projectile firing toys have been known to cause both eye injury and suffocation. Eye

    injuries have occurred when the projectile has been fired unexpectedly, or by mistake.

    If the projectile contained in a gun during a game is not shot away, a normal reaction isto look down the barrel of the gun to see why its not working. It is at this point that the

    projectile is usually accidentally fired with eye injury as a result.

    Suffocation accidents have been caused when small arrows, or the protective part ofsmall arrows, have detached and become wedged in a childs throat.

    The most common cause of this is that the child has put the end of an arrow in its mouthto wet the rubber in order to make it stick better when it hits the target and, when doing

    so, the end has detached from the rest of the arrow.

    Slingshots/catapults, which fire aeroplanes using a rubber band, have been known tocause, in certain cases, loss of sight. These products are so dangerous that they cannot

    be looked upon as toys that are suitable for use by children under the age of 14.

    Toy helicopters that lack a protective ring around the rotor blade have also been knownto cause eye injury.

    Requirements in the standard

    According to the Standard SS-EN 71-1, projectile firing toys and their projectiles shouldfulfil the following requirements:

    All rigid projectiles shall have a tip radius of at least 2 mm

    Resilient materials used as impact surfaces shall not become detached when tested.

    Projectiles in the form of darts shall have an impact area of at least 3 cm 2

    Helicopter rotors shall have a ring around the perimeter in order to reduce the risk of eyeinjury.

    The kinetic energy of rigid projectiles without resilient impact surfaces shall not exceed0,08 J.

    The kinetic energy of projectiles with resilient impact surfaces shall not exceed 0,5 J

    If a firing mechanism can be loaded with other kinds of projectile than the one intendedthe user should be made aware of this fact.

    Information shall be included with toys which fire projectiles stating that they maypresent a danger if other projectiles are used than those intended.

    Toys with a kinetic energy that is greater than 0.08 J (at most 0,5 J) should carry awarning text which says Warning! Do not aim at eyes or face

    PurchaseThe Consumer Agency cooperated with consumer advisors in 30 municipalities. Themunicipalities which took part were Bors, Falkping, Falun, Grums, Gotland, Gvle,Gteborg, Haparanda, Hrnsand, Huddinge, Karlshamn, Karlstad, Kisa, Kristinehamn,Malung, Nacka, Nybro, Pite, Skellefte, Sollefte, Sundsvall, Sdertlje, Tyres, Ume,Vsters, Vstervik seda, tvidaberg, stersund and rebro

    Each advisor was asked to buy 3 projectile firing toys, preferably from various retailers.The toys were bought between April 23rd and May 11, 2001.

    Toys from the various municipalities have been encoded according to the following.

    Evaluation according to the European Standard

    Projectile firing toys were tested during the summer by TESTLAB, which is anaccredited test institute. The toys were tested according to the SS-EN 71-1 (1999) Safety

    of toys-Part 1 Mechanical and physical properties The results are presented in appendix1 3 and are taken from TESTLABs report: R-1012

    Results

    In all, 70 projectile firing toys were tested. (89 in all including those that were purchasedmore than once).

    3 of these (4 including those that were purchased more than once) broke before or

    during the test phase and therefore we are unable to pass comment on them.Toys which failed to fulfil the safety requirements.44 projectiles failed to fulfil the requirements of the toy safety act.

    Of these, 8 (16 including those that were purchased more than once) failed to meetsafety regulations (requirements on their construction) according to the standard EN 71,

    part 1. The kinetic energy of some toys was too high. On others, the protective plasticcap detached from the projectile. Another fault discovered was that there was no

    protective ring surrounding the rotor blades.

    23 projectile firing toys (28 including those that were purchased more than once) did not

    carry the warning text that is required for toys that have a kinetic energy that exceeds0,08 J, but which is under the limit of 0.5 J.

    9 toys (11 including those that were purchased more than once) were of a so calledcatapult type and are therefore exempt from the EN 71-1 regulations (see point 1 Scope

    Objects that are fired into free flight when a child releases an elastic band (such asaircraft and rockets) These are regarded as catapults.)

    Catapults/slingshots are not covered by the EUs Toy Directive or the Swedish ToySafety Act.

    Projectiles fired from catapults can have very high kinetic energy and can, therefore,entail considerable risk for eye injury. This risk is considered so great that no regulationshave been defined as part of the safety standard governing it. Slingshots with projectilesshould not be considered as being toys designed for use by children under the age of 14.They may not carry the CE symbol and may, thereby, not be freely sold within the EU.Incorrectly CE-marked slingshot projectiles should, as with all other incorrectly CEmarket products, be removed from sale. In 1978 the Swedish Market Court banned thesale of slingshots and thereafter has the Consumer Ombudsman issued a ban in junctionorder on other kinds of similar toys.

    Toys which fulfilled the requirements

    16 (19 including those that were purchased more than once) fulfilled therequirements of safety and construction

    Conclusion

    The results of previous market surveys carried out on other kinds of toys, such as rattlesand soft toys, showed that between a third and one quarter of all toys available in themarket failed to fulfil the requirements.

    It appears the trend has continued. One fourth of those toys surveyed, i.e. 8 projectile

    firing toys and 9 catapult projectile firing products, failed to meet safety requirements inthis survey.

    It is highly unsatisfactory that so many projectile firing toys and products that can causeeye injury are available in the market.

    It is also a serious issue that the retailers sell catapults which look like toys and whichcarry the CE symbol. High levels of energy can be released when these toys are fired,involving a risk of eye injury. The Swedish market court has previously banned the saleof so called slingshots.

    There is still cause for consumers to be careful when purchasing projectile toys.

    Process

    The Consumer Agency has written to the suppliers who sold the 8 projectile toys, whichfailed to fulfil the safety requirements, and has asked them to cease sales of these

    products. Those companies that supplied the projectile firing toys, which have incorrectmarkings (23 toys in all) have been informed of this and a request has been made thatthe warning texts on their toys be improved.

    Those suppliers, who have sold catapults, have been requested to cease sales of suchtoys, with reference to the earlier marketing court decision.
