Dear all, Seeing the energy of the makers community, I have an idea that you may find stupid or interesting... be indulgent! I have a company that manufactures baby products (MP3 players for babies)... One of the most difficult thing when selling this kind of products is the safety qualification, …

in my personal opinion it is a good idea to disclose it as you might get valuable feedback for your company.
