10 Worst Toys for 2008
It's the holiday season and children will be sleeping and dreaming of their favorite toys being delivered by Santa on Christmas Eve. They will rush to rip open the gifts waiting for them under the tree bright and early Christmas morning.
It is also time to read W.A.T.C.H.'s report on the "10 worst toys" for 2008. World Against Toys Causing Harm, Inc. (W.A.T.C.H.) presented this list at their 36th annual conference:
- SPORTSMAN SHOTGUN
- GO GO MINIS PULLBACK VEHICLE
- INFLATABLE GIGA BALL
- ANIMAL ALLEY PURSE PET
- SPIDER-MAN ADJUSTABLE TOY SKATES
- PUCCI PUPPIES – MY OWN PUPPY HOUSE GOLDEN RETRIEVER
- WALK'N SOUNDS DIGGER THE DOG
- EADOW MYSTERY PLAY-A-SOUND BOOK WITH A CUDDLY POOH
- EXTREME SPIRAL COPTERS
- NINJA BATTLE GEAR – MICHELANGELO
The organization stressed these particular toys are illustrative of some hazardous toys being sold to consumers, and should not be considered as the only hazardous toys on the market.The report goes on to say, "An astounding number of defective toys are still reaching the marketplace as evidenced by the slew of recalls in the last year. In the nearly twelve month period since W.A.T.C.H.’s last “10 Worst Toys” conference, there have been at least sixty-six (66) toy recalls representing over seven million eight hundred ninety thousand (7,890,000) units of dangerous toys polluting the marketplace."
