PRODUCT SUBMISSION POLICY:

It is our policy to provide the highest quality of unbiased evaluation and testing of products / services submitted to us for review under the following conditions:

  • As safety standards change in the industry, so must our product submission policy as well. Please read our latest * Product Submission Policy Amendment which is now in effect.

  • Both professional and non-lab testing procedures will be implemented, adopting use of ASTM F963, CPSC, EN71, European Council Directive, UL, and JPMA evaluation/certification standards for reference in all product evaluation.  This will be combined with use of the most current evaluation guidelines created by International Parenting institute™ (IPi™) / ChildSafe International™ Corp (CSI™). for adoption and use by The Toy Man™ Product Guide.

  • We use malls, schools, airports, and other public locations for unbiased hands-on consumer evaluation of products. Participants sign up to participate in the product evaluation and fill out a consumer evaluation form which is submitted upon completion.

  • Participants are notified that their participation provides no reward for their effort outside of knowing they contributed in our providing a fair and accurate review of each product / service. By signing the Consumer Evaluation Feedback Form, they agree to allow us to use quotations from any hands-on evaluation participant in our reviews with a condition of no full name or private information used without consent.

  • We do NOT publish/release any information provided from independent lab testing results outside of the name of the copmpany which did the testing. The independent lab testing results are used to validate the independent testing laboratory and corresponding reference designation as confirmed, not just designated on the form.

  • We do NOT test prototype products with children.

  • We do NOT return products which are submitted. Products are generally donated with all appropriate manuals, etc. to children's wards at hospitals, schools, off-continent urgent concerns, special needs children, or charities for disadvantaged children.
