About Us > Our Mission

To fulfill its mission, KID:
  • Reaches out to parents, caregivers, service providers and others through workshops on dangerous children’s products, media coverage, speaking engagements, and printed materials;

  • Works in each state to institute the Children's Product Safety Act, legislation that prohibits the sale of dangerous children's products or their use in childcare facilities, and, nationally, to push for independent pre-market testing of children's products;

  • Encourages designers and engineers to build safety into each product and promotes the development of the safest products possible for our children.
KID’s goal is to create a secure environment for children by ensuring that safer products are manufactured, improving recall effectiveness, and encouraging parents and caregivers to remove dangerous or recalled products from homes and childcare centers.
