Recalled/Dangerous Toys
What You Need to Know
Weston, FL - The recent recall of millions of children's toys has many parents wondering what they can do to protect their children and where they can find information about what toys have been recalled.
Even if you don't have children, you undoubtedly purchase children's toys throughout the year, or know parents of children.
My colleagues and I in Congress will be looking into how so many toys could have been sold here in the United States that were in violation of standards put forth by the federal government's Consumer Product Safety Commission. As a mother of three, I can assure you that I will be working closely on this issue to insure that consumers know that the toys they buy are safe.
For now, however, it is important that you check the safety of the toys around your home and request that you child's daycare, aftercare, or school do the same. I am providing a few key toy safety tips to remember when you are shopping or looking over your existing toys.
Toy Safety Tips:
- Choose age-appropriate toys – Toys are labeled with the appropriate age group, so follow those guidelines carefully.
- Unless a toy specifically says it is for a child 0-3 years of age, do not allow your child of that age to play with it.
- Toys that are not appropriate for your child's age group may pose safety hazards.
- Keep toys separated by age appropriateness – If you have children of different ages, store toys for older children out of reach of younger children.
- Small parts on toys for older children could pose a choking hazard to children under age 3.
