BEIJING : China has launched training sessions to teach toy makers about product safety, state media said Sunday, in a further sign of the government's efforts to improve the nation's tarnished manufacturing image.
More than 1,000 executives from the toy industry last week attended classes in south China's Guangdong province on the quality and safety of export toys, the Xinhua news agency said.
Government officials and executives of transnational firms gave lectures on toy certificate systems and export test regulations and standards in China, the United States and Europe, Xinhua said.
China has been hit by a spate of product recalls, including toys and baby cribs, that have sullied the "Made-in-China" brand in the United States and around the world.
China is the world's top toy exporter, selling 22 billion toys overseas last year, or 60 per cent of the globe's total.
