As we come upon the holiday season, especially for households with children in them, toys become a primary source of entertainment and gift-giving. However, not all the toys on store shelves are safe.
More than 17 million toys have been recalled since 2007 after being found to contain high quantities of lead. 12 million drinking glasses were recently recalled from a popular fast food chain after being found to be coated with cadmium, a toxic metal.
Some researchers and analysts are now calling this a 'toxic toy crisis', with more and more toys containing chemical dangers to potential consumers. Toys may also pose a choking or entanglement risk.
Researchers involved in toy recalls say that "Until significant changes in policy and practice occur, consumers cannot be confident that products they purchase for children are safe, healthy, and environmentally sustainable.”
