Forbes: Holiday Toy Report Lists Perilous Playthings
It’s the annual list of dangerous toys, brought to you by the Public Interest Research Group, the group with the vague name that likes to ruin everyone’s fun. For some reason toys that strangle, deafen, choke and kidnap children are among the most dangerous this year.
“There are two types of toys that parents should know more about and become concerned about,” said Alison Cassady, PIRG’s research director and author of this year’s report. […] The first is the water yo-yo ball. “You can throw it around like a regular yo-yo but this just goes out about five feet and snaps back quickly.
