Some hazardous toys that have been recalled over the past year are still being sold online, a consumer watchdog group warns in a new report as many families are beginning their holiday shopping. Many of the toys listed in this year’s report were recalled for lead, powerful magnets or other hazards. “We should be able to trust that the toys we buy are safe,” Bruce Speight, WashPIRG director, said in a news release. “To prevent problems with holiday toys, read the labels, follow age-limits, and check for recalls. Above all, use common sense: The most serious injuries come from riding toys, toys with small parts that pose a choking hazard, toys that include small magnets and toys that use button batteries.”To review other recalled toys that may still be sold online, check out the full Trouble in Toyland report at www.washpirgfoundation.org.
