Investigation aims to ensure toy safety

The government will investigate and take tough measures against makers involved in the recent recalls of potentially unsafe toys in the United States and other countries, the Commerce Ministry said yesterday.

Toy producers' self-regulatory mechanisms will also be improved to ensure quality, spokesman Wang Xinpei said.

"We really care about toy safety, not only in exports but also in our country," Wang told a press conference in Beijing. "China is a responsible country. We'll investigate the cases and deal with offenders according to the law."
