Each year at Christmas millions of children get new toys. Unfortunately, sometimes
these toys end up being dangerous and can cause the child playing with it to be
harmed. Dangerous toys can be any type of toys that carries risks such as deafening,
choking or lead poisoning according to NBC News. While there is no list that is
complete and has every single dangerous toy listed on it, there are types of toys to be
wary of.

2. Toys with parts that are small and pose hazards for
choking

Balloons that are marketed to children who are under 8
Toy Investments, Inc. Punch Balloons Toys R Us $.98
Allof these toys were deemed dangerous by the U. S. Public Interest Research Group.
The most common cause of deaths that are toy related is choking on smallparts.
There is a tube used by the U. S. Public Interest Research Group that is called a choke
tube. It simulates the size of the throat of a 3 year old child and measures 2 1/4‘’ x 1 ¼’’.
If a toy or a piece of a toy fits that tube then it is deemed dangerous.
Another thing that can immediately land a toy on the list is toys that are not labeled as
having smallparts for children who are between 4 and 6. If a toy is designed to look like
food and thereby encourages a child to try to eat it or if it fails the smallballtests then
it willalso immediately hit the list.
If a toy has lead in it such as the Captain America Soft Shield then it willalso go on the
list.
There was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles PencilCase that made it onto the list due
to it containing one of the phthalates in addition to levels of cadmium that were
deemed excessive.
Toys can also be deemed dangerous if a child can stick it in their ears. The Chat &
Count Smart Phone made the list due to the volume being 20 decibels over the limit.
The bottom line is this: Be smart when choosing toys for children…not just at
Christmas but year round. If you have doubts about the safety of a toy then walk away
from it.
