Dangerous Toys
November 27th, 2006 | by Vinny |While over at CrunchGear, I happened upon a link to an article detailing a variety of potentially unsafe toys. I know this comes out every year, and my children are no longer under 3, so I am tempted to skip it. However, a sense of the macabre overwhelmed me and I looked.
Imagine how I felt when I read of the potentially hazardous nail polishes and makeup. Daughter may very well be getting some of these for the holiday. Yikes!
I also found out that magnets swallowed separately could be attracted to one another and cause irritation or perforation internally. This sounds like something you would make up to scare your kids, but I trust US PIRG. They are extremely reputable, and their research has always been sound.
Check it out, because if you have kids, you can’t afford NOT to.
UPDATED: Found another list, this one from a group called W.A.T.C.H. I have no idea what it stands for, but I know that ‘Heelies’ should have been on every list, so I send you here for the scoop.
