HTN: Unsafe Toys this Christmas

The New York Public Interest Group wants you to check your holiday list twice to make sure dangerous toys are ruled out. Tracy Shelton with NYPIRG says the group has released it's list of toys which pose choking or chemical hazards. NYPIRG says secret Santas should stay away from the Pony Land scented pony, Littlest Pet Shop Sportiest play pack, the WALL-E Leapster2, and the Disney Fairies Fold-out Chair and Sleeping Pad. The group says toxic chemicals also are a problem, finding a third of the more than 15-hundred toys tested contained high chemical levels. However, the Toy Industry Association calls the report misleading. NYPIRG wants parents to research the toys before they allow their kids to play with them.
