Toys companies should do their best to produce toys that are safe for children. However, protection and final decisions regarding which toys will be played with by a child is a parent's job. It is important for parents to carefully decide which toys are appropriate for their children.  Please take time to review all the toys that your children play with at your home, friends homes, school etc.  Also, periodically check the toys for excessive wear or damage.  If a toy does not appear to be in the proper condition, dispose of it immediately.
