Nothing could be more tragic than children at home playing with their toys and getting gravely injured. Though the government has passed rules and regulations to guard children and elders from perilous toys, invariable some toys manage to get thru manufacturing onto shelves, and into homes. If this occurs, those makers are liable by law for any injuries.
It's a parent’s job and duty to guard their kids from harm, and this includes vetting their toys before they're brought home. But it is impossible for a parent to be able to police and monitor all the toys that are made. Luckily there are organisations to help them. A company called W.A.T.C.H. (World Against Toys Causing Harm) distributes an inventory of the “10 Worst Toys” that might most likely harm or kill children. Another organization is Trouble in Toyland which is a public interest group that conducts their own research and tests and also puts out an annual list.
On the “10 Worst Toys” list put out in 2011 by W.A.T.C.H. , they have listed products with Disney characters, Curious George, and X-Men. These are well-loved characters that children may even beg their mother and father to purchase them. Little do they understand that danger prowls when they get them home and open the packages. Some of the risks include choking perils, eye wounds, strangling risks, puncture injuries and head wounds. These products are sold at leading nation-wide shops such as K-Mart and ToysRUs, so obviously depending on the shops to protect your youngsters isn’t adequate.
The list distributed by Difficulty in Toyland includes top children’s toy makers such as Fisher Price, Hasbro and P&C Corporation. These toys endanger your kids with potential choking jeopardy, deafness, and lead beyond the legal limit.
Many mothers and fathers are surprised to learn that they themselves are the ones who have brought these perilous dangers into the home and given them to their kids. But the reality is that it's not their fault. These are faulty products and if they cause injury mothers and fathers have the right to sue.
