Abstract
All measures aimed at preventing danger, that is preventing risks associated with toys, cannot entirely prevent the placement of dangerous toys and their presence on the market as well as damages caused by defective toys. Preventive legal rules on toy safety and compensatory-preventive rules governing the liability for damages caused by defective toys have been prescribed under the effort to maximally reduce the number of accidents caused by defective toys and to stimulate placing on the market of only safe toys, i.e. toys presenting no or minimum danger. Toy safety regulations have been set as well as to enable compensation for damages caused by defective toys. The author in the article analyses legal regulations regarding toy safety and liability for defective toys adopted in the United States of America, European Union and Croatia. A special attention has been given to relationship between private legal and public legal toy safety regulations and their functions as well as private legal rules on liability for defective toys.
