At DestinyBaby.com, we take toy safety seriously. Nothing is more important for toddlers and preschoolers who are full of curiosity and still learning so much about how the world works. In the right sidebar on this site we display an RSS feed of the latest recall notices related to children’s products from the Consumer Product Safety Commission. We also published a toy safety checklist for parents at ezinearticles.
More information has just come out in the latest report from the US Public Interest Research Group (PIRG). Over at the preschooler page on About.com, they are highlighting a new report from PIRG, “Trouble in Toyland.” The report features the latest toys that pose choking hazards, excessive amounts of lead and hormones or are too loud and could harm tiny eardrums. US PIRG has also launched an accompanying smart phone website that lets you look up hazardous toys right from your phone while you are out shopping at the store, and lets your report hazardous toys you find. The PIRG is all about empowering consumers and this is a great tool to do just that while keeping our children safe.
