Consumer group urges safety first with toys for gifts

 

As Michigan parents and caregivers tackle their holiday shopping lists, a new report is reminding them to keep toy safety in mind.

 

The U-S Public Interest Research Group's annual “Trouble in Toyland” report lists more than 40 recalls of toys and children’s products that have been announced since January of 2015. However, spokesperson Mike Litt says over a dozen of the items might still be for sale.

 

"The ones that we were still able to find online included those that had exceeded the limits on lead. They were magnet hazards; they also included chargers and batteries that overheated and could cause burns or fires."

 

Litt says toys are safer than ever before, but he cautions that adults should still be vigilant by examining toys for hazards.

 

Recall information can be found online at cpsc.gov.
