24th annual Trouble in Toyland report
Toys should bring kids joy, but sometimes they bring injury, serious harm, or even death. This holiday season, as we have for the past 23 years, ConnPIRG is working to reduce the number of injuries and tragedies caused by dangerous toys.
The 24th annual Trouble in Toyland survey focuses on three categories of toy hazards:
• toys that may pose choking hazards,
• toys that are excessively loud, and
• toys that contain the toxic chemicals lead and phthalates.
ConnPIRG also has a new interactive smart phone website – http://www.toysafety.mobi – to help parents and other toy-shoppers avoid common hazards and report potential dangers they find on toy store shelves, right from their mobile phones or home computers.
