Camden Product Liability Lawyers Warn About the Most Dangerous Toys of 2015

The holiday season is upon us, and that means shoppers will be buying lots of toys for their friends and families. With all the excitement of the holidays, buyers may not stop to think about the dangers posed by their purchases. Consumer advocacy group World Against Toys Causing Harm, or WATCH, urges shoppers to be cautious in their shopping.

Every year WATCH releases a Top 10 list of the most dangerous toys on the market. This year, the list includes some common culprits, such as pull along toys without adequate safety precautions to prevent strangulation injuries, and some not-so-common culprits, such as “Poo-Dough,” a play-doh like substance meant to look like waste. Poo-Dough can cause allergy-related injuries, particularly if ingested.

The complete list this year includes:

• “Bud” Skipit’s Wheely Cute Pull Along – a child’s pull along toy with small parts and a cord that can causes choking injuries. Bunnies By The Bay makes this toy and it retails for $29.99.
• Foam dart gun – a very realistic looking toy gun. GD.Jiefeng Toys makes this item, and it sells for $13.99.
• Stats’ 38 inch quick-folding trampoline – children may sustain head, neck and other traumatic injuries from using this toy. It is manufactured by Toys “R” Us, Inc., and it sells for $49.99.
• Poo-Dough – this product contains wheat, as stated on its warning label, and can cause allergy-related injuries such as hives, headaches and difficulty breathing. Skyrocket Toys makes this item, and it retails for $4.99.
• Splat X Smack Shot – as its name implies, this toy can potentially cause eye injuries. Imperial Toy manufactures it and it sells for $10.
