Keep your family safe this holiday: avoid dangerous toys and products

by Brayton Purcell LLP | Dec 11, 2018 | Consumer Safety

child by a Christmas tree

With the holidays approaching, parents should be aware of some hidden dangers in products and toys marketed for kids.

Slime

Some slimes contain high levels of boron. Boron can cause repertory irritation, lung damage, pulmonary congestion, edema, and death.

Toys with small parts

Toys marketed to children 6 and older can include small parts that pose as choking hazards. “Hatching” toys that break apart small parts that can also easily pose a hazard.

Smart Toys

Sites, apps, games and smart toys might be collecting private data from your child, and some could be hacked, posing a safety risk.

Makeup

As we have seen in many cases recently, makeup made for children can often contain asbestos. These products can include talc which also often contains asbestos.

Toys with magnets

Small magnets can cause serious internal damage if swallowed.
