The analysis may include measuring detachable or broken components, examining how parts separated from the toy, documenting fasteners and joints, and comparing the physical evidence with the product's intended configuration. Instructions, testing information, photographs, and the condition of the toy after the incident can help determine whether the small component resulted from the original construction, damage, wear, modification, or another circumstance. Age recommendations may provide additional context regarding the toy's intended users and the relevance of age-dependent safety requirements.
Age recommendations can provide context for the users and developmental abilities contemplated for a toy. A suitably qualified toys expert witness may compare those recommendations with the toy's size, operating features, detachable components, instructions, warnings, and available incident evidence. The significance of the age recommendation depends on the specific product and technical issue being examined.
Testing can be useful when the disputed question involves how a component moves, separates, breaks, releases, closes, launches, or responds to force. Appropriate testing may also help document dimensions, mechanical operation, component retention, or material behavior. The testing method should reflect the toy, its condition, and the particular question being investigated.
Wear patterns, fracture surfaces, missing components, replacement fasteners, adhesive repairs, deformation, and other physical evidence may help assess whether and how the toy was damaged, repaired, or modified after manufacture. Comparing the examined item with specifications, photographs, purchase information, maintenance or repair history, and sufficiently comparable exemplar products when appropriate can help distinguish original product characteristics from later alterations.
