gift-buyers to be vigilant this season. They've unveiled an array
of potential toy safety hazards, including the lead-based paint
that forced manufacturers to recall millions of popular toys over
the past several months.
Consumer groups warn of numerous cases where toys that posed a
choking hazard or lead danger had improperly made it to store
shelves.
Acting chief of the Consumer Product Safety Commission Nancy
Nord suggests parents "stay informed" about safety risks by
reading product warning labels and signing up for direct e-mail
notification of recalls at www.cpsc.gov.
Among the biggest toy hazards cited by CPSC:
-Riding toys, skateboards and inline skates that could cause
dangerous falls for children.
-Toys with small parts that can cause choking hazards,
particularly for children under age 3.
-Toys with small magnets, particularly for children under age 6,
that can cause serious injury or death if the magnets are
swallowed.
