Dangerous, recalled toys can still be found online during the holiday shopping season. Consumer advocates have a message: Be careful.
Before everyone starts piling toys into their real life and online shopping carts this holiday season, consumer advocates have a message: Be careful.by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group Education Fund. The researchers behind the report searched for 16 toys that had been recalled and found 11 of them on Facebook marketplace, eBay, and some online toy shops.
In 2020, nearly 200,000 people, including 79,000 children ages 4 and younger, went to emergency departments because of toy-related injuries, according to the report. “Parents may not hear about a recall if they’re not listening or paying attention to the news on that particular day,” she said. None of the other sellers warned the researchers that the toys had been recalled, according to the report.
Parents and others buying toys this holiday season can do their part by being vigilant and watching for red flags, consumer advocates and doctors said Tuesday.
