Slingshots and water guns are dangerous because they invite children to target other youngsters. BB guns should never be considered toys. Inspect toys for sound construction. Toys should be made of durable materials, have no sharp edges or points and should withstand impact. Avoid giving toys with small parts to young children.
Youngsters tend to put things in their mouths, increasing the risk of choking.
Read instructions carefully and follow suggested age levels. Age labeling is provided for developmental and safety reasons. Selection of the proper toy is the first step in keeping the holiday safe.
