Parents shopping for their kids this holiday season need to be alert before they buy them because recalled and counterfeit toys are being sold online
"None of the other sellers flagged, stopped or sent a warning about any of our other purchases of recalled toys," the report said.DigitDots 3mm and 5mm Magnetic Balls from HD Premier:
These were recalled in March 2022 for injury to the digestive system if two or more magnets are swallowed.These were recalled in July 2022 because the fabric playhouses and play tents fail to meet industry flammability standards.The toy was recalled in July 2019 because the googly plastic eyes on the toy can detach, posing a choking hazard to young children.The toy set was recalled in October 2022 because the red cube can come apart and release a small white ball, posing a choking hazard.
When the US Consumer Product Safety Commission and a toy manufacturer announce a recall, that means the toy must immediately be removed from store shelves and online marketplaces. Federal law prohibits the sale of products subject to a recall ordered by the CPSC or a voluntary recall by the company in consultation by the CPSC, the report said.
PIRG offered this advice regarding the best way to avoid counterfeit toys: If the only place to buy a popular, hard-to-find toy is a website you've never heard of or that looks sketchy, there may be a reason for that. The toys may not be genuine, the report said, and may not meet safety standards for parts that can break or levels of toxins, which are common in plastic toys.
