Toys are some of the most common gifts during the holiday season for both children and adults alike. While consumers should expect that toys are safe for all ages, the reality is that unsafe toys remain an ongoing problem.
Boston-based nonprofit World Against Toys Causing Harm Inc. reports that one child is treated in a U.S. emergency room every three minutes for a toy-related injury. In 2014, there were over 251,000 toy-related injuries, and 61 children died in toy-related incidents between 2010 and 2014.
