Email to a Friend
Printer Friendly Version

The group that puts out this annual worst toy list is called "WATCH IT", founder, Edward Swartz, a Boston Attorney.
From small parts that can choke to big parts that can poke, they're all on this years worst toy list. These are toys still on the market today, despite their inherent danger.
What could possibly be wrong with this cute little Curious George doll? Well, apparently a lot. "It was recalled last year, and it was just purchased this month!" (Spokesman, WATCH)

A soft mobile phone, two small gloves and a red button, all small enough to fit into a babies mouth causing a choking hazard. The Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled this very same product last year, and with no changes made by the manufacturer, it's back on store shelves. "There's no exuse for it.."

DIGITAL MONSTERS, DIGIMON BANK
The hazard? A protruding rigid point, a potential for penetrating a small child.

BOB THE BUILDER COUNTING HAMMER
It appears his hammer is a little too realistic and creates a risk of severe impact to a child.
