European Commission Safety Gate Report 2025 highlights enforcement focus on toys and references strengthened toolbox under new Toy Safety Regulation

The European Commission’s 2025 Safety Gate Report (press release PDF) highlights that toys represented 16% of Safety Gate alerts in 2025 and explicitly references the new Toy Safety Regulation as strengthening authorities’ powers and banning harmful chemicals in toys. While this does not amend Regulation (EU) 2025/2509, it is a compliance-relevant enforcement signal for toy manufacturers/importers and online sellers regarding market surveillance priorities and scrutiny of unsafe/hazardous-chemical-related noncompliance.
