Royal Melbourne Show:  Putting Show Bags to the test

The Royal Melbourne Show kicks off on September 26 and with it comes the 100’s of showbags full of goodies.

Whilst many of us have our favourite bags, the last thing we want to do is buy a bag and inadvertently put a kid at risk of harm.

How do we know if a show bag is safe?

For more information on this or any other consumer topic, check out the consumer affairs Victoria website at consumer.vic.gov.au

Guest:  Alison Hocking is the Lead Investigator for Consumer Affairs Victoria.

Presenter: Warren Andrew.
