At 11:00 AM on October 27, 2026, Pol. Gen. Bunbong Bunnanong, chairman of the committee for enforcing industrial product standards laws under the Ministry of Industry, led the special "Top Gun" task force alongside spokesperson Nanthanat Bunnag, secretary Aslam Patan, officials from the Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI), and related agencies to inspect a warehouse in Krathum Baen district, Samut Sakhon province.
The inspection followed intelligence that the warehouse stored children's toys without required TISI certification marks and QR codes. Officials discovered numerous toy items lacking proper industrial standard markings and QR codes, leading to the seizure of 5 units and impoundment of 194 additional units, totaling 199 items. The products' value is currently under assessment for further legal action.
Non-standard toys may pose health and safety risks to children, particularly young children who tend to put objects in their mouths. Detachable small parts could cause choking, while sharp edges or breakable components may cause injuries. Uncontrolled materials, colors, or chemicals could cause irritation or health hazards from contact and ingestion, and structural weaknesses could lead to accidents during play.
Products missing required TISI marks or QR codes trigger serious inspection. The "Top Gun" operation reflects intensified market surveillance of industrial products, especially those affecting children's safety. This enforcement action by the Ministry of Industry aims to block substandard goods and warns businesses to verify product sources and licensing before distribution. Consumers should buy from trusted sources and verify TISI marks and QR codes.
