Display Organization and Merchandising

• Toy displays are neat, organized, and fully faced
  Shelves, pegs, bins, and endcaps are aligned, fronted, and free of obvious clutter or disarray.
• Products are in the correct location and matched to signage
  Verify items are shelved in the correct department, category, and promotional location with no obvious misplacements.

  All displayed merchandise should have readable pricing and current promotional signage where required.
• Seasonal setup matches current planogram or event
  Seasonal toy displays, feature tables, and endcaps reflect the current approved seasonal or promotional setup.
• Damaged packaging or opened product removed from display
  Check for torn boxes, crushed packaging, missing parts, or open items that should be pulled from the sales floor.

Battery Demo Stations and Interactive Features

• Battery demo station powers on and functions as intended
  Test demo buttons, lights, sounds, and other interactive features for normal operation.
• Battery compartments are secure and free of exposed cells
  Battery covers should be intact, secured, and not present a customer-accessible hazard.
• Demo cords, adapters, and power supplies are safe and undamaged
  Inspect for frayed cords, loose connections, overheating, or other visible electrical deficiencies.
• Demo station area is clean, stocked, and free of trip hazards
  The station should be tidy, with no loose packaging, tangled cords, or obstructions around the display.

Age-Rating Labels and Choking Hazard Compliance

• Age-rating labels are visible on applicable toys
  Verify age guidance is present and readable on products where required, especially items with small parts or higher age restrictions.
• Choking hazard warnings are present on small-part items
  Check that products with small parts, balls, or other hazards display the appropriate warning language and are not mixed with younger-age merchandise.
• Toy packaging and labels are intact and readable
  Packaging should not obscure required warnings, age guidance, or product identification information.
• Restricted-age merchandise is separated from younger-age displays
  Products intended for older children are not displayed in a way that creates a foreseeable safety or compliance issue for younger shoppers.

Housekeeping, Safety, and Seasonal Standards

  Look for spills, loose debris, broken hangers, or other hazards in and around the toy department.
• Seasonal decorations and fixtures are secure
  Verify seasonal props, hanging signs, and display fixtures are stable, properly attached, and not creating a falling-object hazard.
• Any deficiencies documented and escalated
  Record any non-conformance, corrective action taken, and items needing follow-up by management or maintenance.
