When I saw the title my 1st thought was not on hazards but on other aspects.. but interesting…

’10 Worst Toys’ From W.A.T.C.H.

Local toy industry watchdog group W.A.T.C.H. (World Against Toys Causing Harm) is out with its annual list of the ten most dangerous toys. Below are their nominees for toys parents should watch out for. Each poses a common injury hazard associated with toys.

The list has some reasonable “choking” hazards for small kids.. to just absurd fussy safety crap on other items! enjoy!

1. Walk’n Sounds Digger the Dog. This is such a cute-cute little toy.. and the issue is a correctable one.. due to the 12”+ string (really have to wonder about the whole “string length” thing, how many kids were that dumb to strangle themselves with a string.. and for those that did, perhaps it was needed?)
2. Meadow Mystery Play-a-sound book with cuddly pooh. His mask poses a choking hazard.. ok I can see that since kids really do love to shove things in their mouths. So just remove the freaking mask or sew it on real tight.
3. Animal Alley purse set: these are just creepy.. but apparently the actual issue is not because of the blue, purple or pink creepy dogs.. but the  fur fibers are not well secured. Not much hope for this ridiculous looking creepy toy.. whew good!
4. Ninja Battle gear: hum go figure the issue with this one.. Impact Injury.. naw.. no way.. num-chuks could because impact.. I guess guns shoot too huh? So I guess the Ninja Battle Gear, is not a cuddle toy? Seriously.. the WATCH group needs a reality slap!
5. Go Go Mini Pullback Vehicle: wheels are a choking hazard.. ok that one is reasonable.
6. Spider-Man Adjustable Toy Skates: This one is silly.. the warning label instructs the use of helmet, wrist guard, knee & elbow pads when skating. But the helmet & wrist guards are not included in the pack. (I think all the freaking safety crap, is well crap.. kids need boo boos!) The helmets need to be fitted correctly to have any use, and wrist guards.. come-on.. how about just bubble wrap!?
7. Pucci Puppies My Own Puppy House Golden Retriever: small parts included = choking hazard.
8. Inflatable Giga Ball: (this is that huge inflatable ball kids crawl in and can roll around in the ball.. so neat..) I was dying to see the issue with this one.. and it is about the "parental supervision” being “recommended” rather than mandatory.. seriously that is just silly… kids should not be tethered to their parents 24/7…
9. Spiral Copters: ahh no EYE injury.. I wanna go bac to the time before all this bubble-wrap, knee pad, helmet, fussy stuff!
10. Sportsman Shotgun: again.. EYE injury.. this toy is noted for 14+ age.. where I grew up most kids by that age were hunting with real bullets!
