Yes.
They have the obligation not to mislead the customers and society at large about the safety of their products.

No, they don't. They are busy doing business and making money. The reason they make safe (or whatever) toys is because it's not profitable to do otherwise. To expect special moral or any other guidance from business is the most ridiculous thing that is going on these days. I want business to invest their money in creativity to invent products that increase everybody's standard of living. I don't want them to invest their money in taking care (and disabling) society.

They certainly have special legal restrictions and requirements, though you'd kinda think it ought to be the parents' job to determine what's safe and appropriate for their children, rather than the government's.
This is why products are recommended for certain age groups, come with safety warnings, and are treated with fire retarding chemicals. This means that if you allow your child to play with, say, latex balloons, and they choke to death, you are held responsible, not the manufacturer.

YES!!!!! There company would end if they are selling faulty product or anything that was going to harm the consumer. This goes for any company.
