  • Playing with Safety: Dangerous Toys and the Role of America's Civil
    Playing with Safety: Dangerous Toys and the Role of America’s Civil Justice System December 2010 Playing with Safety: Dangerous Toys and the Role of America’s Civil Justice System 1 Table of Contents Introduction 3 Danger in Familiar Places 4 Lead 6 Toxic Substances 8 Magnets 10 Conclusion 13 Appendix: Resources for Consumers 14 Endnotes 15 Playing with Safety: Dangerous Toys and the Role of America’s Civil Justice System 2 Introduction Today’s toys are not your parents’ toys. Toys have grown in sophistication and technological advancement, but so have their dangers. In 1970, the most popular toy on the market was the then brand new Nerf Ball. Forty years later, the Nerf is still popular but has morphed into a “Blaster” – armed with a fl ip-up sight, red dot light beam, and shoulder stock with an extra ammo clip – and had to be recalled after the gun’s mechanism injured more than 45 children.1 While most parents have always had the common sense to watch for small objects that might choke a child or sharp pieces that might cause harm, today’s toys feature unseen hazards. Now, the danger comes from lead, cadmium, asbestos, and other carcinogens undetectable to the eye, or small, innocent-looking magnets that can rip a child apart from the inside. Since 1974, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued more than 850 recalls for toy products. In 2007, 45 million toys had to be recalled.2 Between 2004 and 2008, toy-related injuries increased 12 percent, and over the last 10 years, toy-related injuries have increased 54 percent.3 This increase in the number of injuries to children every year has coincided with a marked increase in imported toys.
