- Audio: CPSC Chairman Inez Tennenbaum: "Read the labels on the boxes. Make sure that the toy is appropriate for the age level of the child. If your child is three years old or younger, make sure the toy does not have a lot of small parts because children will put those parts in their mouths at that age and have a tendency to choke or swallow that small part."
- Audio: Jerry Storch, Chairman & CEO, Toys "R" Us Inc.: "We share the mission of the CPSC to do everything we can to raise the bar continuously when it comes to the safety of toys and of baby products and I can state without any equivocation, that toys are safer than they have ever been."
- Audio: Alan Korn, Executive Director and General Counsel, Safe Kids USA: "For parents to sign up at the CPSC website for their recall alerts. I think Mr. Storch mentioned this in his comments. That way you get an automatic email alert whenever there is a recall of a toy. "
- Audio: Announcer voice over: "After the recalls of 2007, the chairman had one goal in mind and that is to restore consumer confidence in the safety of toys sold in the United States."
