Product safety

Our role in product safety is to ensure consumer products are as safe as possible and fully inform consumers about using products safely.

Our goal is to reduce the number of product-related injuries to Queenslanders.

We work towards this goal by:

introducing, monitoring and enforcing mandatory safety standards for consumer products
recommending unsafe products be banned or recalled
providing guidance to industry about supplying safe products
providing safety information to consumers
investigating complaints about unsafe goods.
