If you google Australian safety standards or something similar, I'm sure you'll find details. Some company got fined nearly $1m the other day because it was falsely advertising its products as safety standard approved...the full article can be found online on The Age...
" A VICTORIAN company that supplied dangerous baby walkers and cots has gone out of business after being fined $860,000 for breaching national safety standards.
Baby walkers sold by Skippy Australia lacked the braking mechanism required to prevent their falling down steps or stairs and lacked mandatory warning labels. The Sunday Age series found that safety standards did little to protect people from companies that dumped dangerous imported products on the market. Skippy Australia's cots and walkers were imported from China.
Unlike most other nursery products, which are covered by voluntary safety standards, cots and baby walkers are covered by mandatory safety standards.
Skippy Australia, which was incorporated in December 2004, supplied nursery products nationally from its Cheltenham warehouse, as well as from a website and the eBay auction site. Its directors were Artour Balaiants and Boris Seroshtan."
