I have worked with Rachel for 8 years and she has been a tremendous asset as our Toy Safety consultant. I could always rely on Rachel for extremely effective advice. Her knowledge of toy safety is both broad and very up to date, which has been critical to us in staying ahead of the constantly changing toy safety standards. She is calm under pressure, and has the contacts throughout the industry to get to the core of an issue and get it resolved expeditiously. I would recommend Rachel without any reservations.

Rachel and I have worked together dating back almost 20 years, to a time when we both worked on the ASTM subcommittee that administers the toy safety standard, ASTM F963. Both in terms of the US regulations and the far more complex EU regs, Rachel’s knowledge and command of the subjects of product integrity and toy safety put her at the top tier in our industry. She is attentive to the needs of her clients, and is a pleasure to work with. Anyone who I know who has ever worked with Rachel feels the same way about all of the above. She has my highest possible recommendation.

Rachel has an impressive amount of experience and knowledge with QA programs, certification and product safety. In the two-plus years that I worked with her, I truly came to appreciate her for her sense of urgency, customer service and dedication to my account. She was remarkably proactive in providing my team with industry insight and guidance, responsive to every phone call and e-mail (not just the hysterical ones) and she never hesitated to put me in contact with the right person on the rare occasion she couldn’t answer my inquiry directly. The regulatory landscape for children’s products can be intimidating and frustrating and for those of us that need to have our hands-held through the process now and again, I absolutely recommend Rachel.
