Toy Safety
Toys. You gotta love 'em, but you still have to be careful about letting your toddler play with ANY toy unsupervised. Toy safety should be every parents first priority whenever shopping for toys of any kind, no matter how much you trust the vendor.

This part of the website is more than just a generic 'keep toddlers away from small parts'-type of warning, it is an ongoing listing of news and tips on how to keep your child safe from toys in all situations.
Unlike the Toy Recalls section of this site, this page isn't so concerned with the actual identity of dodgy toys themselves. Instead, treat this page as a place to learn the latest about the ongoing battle between trust and complacency.
