Inappropriate products

Avoid food products which could lead to health problems later, such as obesity, dental caries, etc. Many children’s foods are so high in sugars and fats. See for instance the Australian Consumers’ Association Choice Magazine articles:
Why design a package of unhealthy food that attracts children to consume it if we know they will suffer health problems later? Would you want your own children to suffer diet-related ill health? Wouldn't it be better to spend your time designing an excellent package for a food product that is nutritious as well?

Consider  safety of toys and their age appropriateness and educational play value. See for instance

Choice Magazine: Toy safety tips

Stay  away from products which “sexualize” children. There are products sold in pharmacies such as mascara, lipsticks, tattoos, exfoliants, waxing strips, etc for young girls . Some web articles on this:
