Toys are like the treasures of childhood, and they can be remembered forever as long as they're chosen with care. But are all toys safe? Not even close.
In 2004 in the USA an estimated 210,300 toy related injuries were treated in hospital emergency rooms. This is a huge number.
Every single year, close to 3 billion toys of all types are sold in the USA alone, more than 60 % of these sales come during the Holiday Season in November and December.
With huge number of toys having been recalled in recent months for lead or magnets, it’s very important to remember that overall most toys are completely harmless. But given the circumstances its a given that parents and guardians are over protective around Christmas time.
