in #CASE you missed it… The Worst Toys For 2017
Watchdog group comes out with annual list of the most dangerous toys to get your kids this holiday season
A lot of parents will be heading to the toy store in the coming weeks to get their kids something fun for the holidays but not every toy out there is suitable for your little boy or girl. In fact, some can be downright dangerous.
The watchdog group World Against Toys Causing Harm, a.k.a. W.A.T.C.H, is out to make sure every kid has a safe holiday season and they've just come out with their annual list of the “10 Worst Toys,” items that could potentially hurt the kids who they are made for.
Toys making this year’s list include:
Wonder Woman Battle Sword – potential for blunt force injuries
Spider-man Spider-Drone – potential for eye and body impact injuries
Hallmark’s “Itty Bittys” Baby Stacking Toy –potential choking hazard
Pull Along Pony – potential for strangulation and entanglement injuries
Hand Fidget Spinners – potential for choking injuries
Nerf Zombie Strike Deadbolt Crossbow – potential for eye injuries
Slackers Slackline Classic Series Kit – potential for strangulation and fall-related injuries
Oval Xylophone – potential for ingestion and choking injuries
Jets Heel Wheels – potential for blunt impact and fire-related burn injuries
Brianna Babydoll – potential for choking injuries
Now if you were planning on buying any of these toys for you kids, know that not everyone thinks they are so dangerous. The Toy Association describes the list as “needlessly frightening,” although they do caution parents to pay attention to the suitable age range listed on the package.
