This is 21st-annual toy safety survey was released by the Public Interest Research Group and as in past years, the big problem is small parts that be a choking hazard for toddler and children. Magnetix building sets, certain Hot Wheels toys, and Kid Connection Mini Activity Cube are just a handful of this year's toys that could pose a choking hazard. Thompson says parents may want to check out the list of toys that are so loud that it could damage a child's hearing. The group says 73,000 children under the age 5 had to go to the emergency room last year due to toy related injuries.
