Christmas Season: Dangers of Toys Fact & Opinion

Toys have always been made from the dangerous factors risking and ending many young children's lives. Since children are the only ones who play with toys, while holiday shopping this season for gifts you should keep in mind that toys may contain lead ,  phthalates, cause choking hazards and hearing defects. A toy having Lead may affect the human organs, the body system, and the nerves. It also can be very affective to a young child's brain. Toys having Phthalates can cause Pre-Mature birth and reproductive effects. A toy also causes choking hazards because children tend to put small objects in there mouth. So the small parts they are chewing on from the toys may cause them to choke. Toys containing noisy sounds can possibly turn into hearing loss. So be aware when buying toys for your children this season. Toys tend to have hidden dangerous hazards.

Well I believe that it’s bad to put such things as Lead and Phthalates in toys of children because, as we all know children always tend to put things in there mouth. Also it was a stupid idea knowing all the horrible side effects from things being injected into a human body. I think they should make the toys out of chewable materials that won't harm the child. I also think that parents should be aware and research what are in toys so that the child won't be exposed to it. Also I think they should stop using small objects on toys that could be easy to choke on. Also they shouldn’t make toys sounds be so loud. The sound hurts the ear and having no hearing would be a horrible thing to grow up with. So this was a great article because it's informing parents as to what can harm the children and how to prevent it. -philly.com
