Find Out if that Christmas Toy Is Safe

By Chris Baskind in Christmas, Holidays, The Daily Footstep

Many potential Christmas toys bear unwanted gifts — in the form of lead, cadmium, chlorine, arsenic, bromine and mercury. So how can you tell what’s safe? Start with the product rankings at HealthyToys.org. You can search by toy name, brand, and type. Doing some shopping and need a quick answer? Send a SMS/text message to 41411 with the text, “healthytoys [search term],” where the search term is the name of a toy, type of toy, manufacturer, or retailer. You’ll get instant search results straight to your phone.

    This happens every Christmas. Toys are withdrawn from shelves because they are dangerous in one way or another. Anyway, if you buy one, it will be a long journey to go, knock on somebody's door and ask: “So, are you responsible for this?”
