It’s November 15 and the most wonderful time of the year is just getting started. A big part of the magic of the season is seeing kids eyes light up when they open a holiday gift to find their favorite toy from their wish list. What are kids asking for this year?

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. -

Completed acquisition by Hasbro, Inc. of Entertainment One Limited Decision on relevant merger situation and substantial lessening of competition ME/6850/19 Please note that [] indicates figures or text which have been deleted or replaced in ranges for reasons of commercial confidentiality. SUMMARY 1. On 30 December 2019, Hasbro, Inc (Hasbro) acquired Entertainment One Limited (eOne) (the Merger). Hasbro and eOne are together referred to as the Parties. 2. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) believes that it is or may be the case that each of Hasbro and eOne is an enterprise; that these enterprises have ceased to be distinct as a result of the Merger; and that the turnover test is met. The four-month period for a decision has not yet expired. The CMA therefore believes that it is or may be the case that a relevant merger situation has been created. 3. The Parties overlap in the supply of children character brand (CCB)1 licences for the manufacture and wholesale supply of CCB-based consumer goods2 in the United Kingdom (UK). In addition, the Parties overlap in the supply of film, television and digital (FTD) content, as well as gaming apps, based on their own CCBs in the UK. However, the CMA found that the Merger does not, prima facie, give rise to competition concerns in relation to the supply of FTD and gaming apps. Therefore, the CMA’s competitive assessment is focused 1 CCB refers to a property right relating to the name and design of a fictional character targeted at children (in this Decision, the demographic segment comprising the ages of 0 to 11 years old).
