Trouble in Toyland

November 23rd, 2010 by flanews

Christmas and Hanukah presents are suppose to bring joy to kids, but they could also bring death.

Florida Public Interest Research Group is warning parents of dangerous toys for sale this holiday season. PIRG tested toys for toxic chemicals, choking and suffocation hazards. Brad Ashwell a spokesman for the group says many of the toys on the list meet minimal government safety standards.

“Even one toy related death is too many and that’s why we really need stronger limits on the amount of chemicals that can be placed in toys,” said Ashwell.

PIRG released its 25 annual Trouble in Toyland report today. This year there’s a website accessible on smart phones to help parent to read the report as they shop. The address is www.toysafety.mobi
