Toys are responsible for thousands of eye injuries each year.
Do not purchase shooting toys or toys that include detachable parts that can fly into an eye. BB guns, slingshots, and water guns are just some examples. Never buy hobby kits, such as chemistry sets, for any child younger than 12 years of age. Inspect for Durability. Toys for young children should not contain sharp points or edges and should be able to withstand continual impact.
