10 Most Wanted Toys

News, Recalls

The Consumer Product Safety Commission [“CPSC”] is the federal agency responsible for enforcing toy safety in the United States.  The CPSC regularly issues notifications regarding dangerous toys that should be immediately taken out of your home. The following 10 toys are those that the CPSC currently considers the most serious safety threats to your child:

  • The Auto Fire Toy Dart Gun from Family Dollar Stores: This toy, sold exclusively in the Dollar Store  chain, caused the asphyxiation deaths of a 9-year-old boy and a 10-year-old boy. The suction cups on the darts became stuck in children’s throats, causing them to stop breathing.  The toy dart gun playsets come with orange and yellow and a blue and yellow gun.
