What approval process is required to get a kids board game approved for retail sales?
EJM asked:
Would like to know legal steps are needed once protoype has been created for a board game that is planned for retail sales.
How do you add all the safety info and age group recommendations and do you need some type of lianility insurance as well?

There is no real approval process, in that you don’t need anyone’s permission to develop, market and sell a board game. You may want to apply for a patent, but the important process to complete is to find someone with the money who is willing to back you until the cash from actual sales starts rolling in.
