There's also a rather 'odd' result if you use the 'toys' filter in a search (page 2)!

I was surprised to see so many electric vehicles listed, (Hoverboards etc) there is clearly nothing to stop a child using them at home, but I could not see my children being satisfied to use it in the garden, even a legal e-bike you need to be 14 years old to ride one on a public road, I was surprised to find technically the folding scooter I have, (no motor) is not legal as only has brakes on one wheel, wonder if allowed roller skates? But it seems authorities turn a blind eye if no motor.
So these toys can't be used on public spaces, so seems manufacturers think they can get away with anything.

I would have thought that products that have 'failings' which mean that they can result in harm would be just as much a 'problem' for the manufacturer whether the harm resulted from their use in private or public 'spaces', wouldn't they?

Sorry my point is if some one is buying a produce they know should not be used, why would they take any notice of a danger notice, it is like a notice on a gun saying using this item can be fatal.

OK - but if the 'danger notice' related to a recall because the batch in question had been found to have a fault which could result in the gun 'backfiring' and thereby injuring or killing the user, then perhaps they might 'take notice' of it?

Probably not as many, and not as many proposing 'draconian remedies', as in the recent thread about Amazon and eBay etc.
Kind Regards, John
