Most Dangerous Toys of 2020

We rely on the products we buy to be safe, whether they are appliances, cars, food, furniture or toys. However, sometimes the items we buy are not as safe as they should be. They may be designed or manufactured with a defect that can cause injuries to consumers.

These defective products can apply to toys as well. As a parent, you should be concerned that your child could be playing with dangerous toys. These toys may look safe on the outside, but can pose choking hazards and cause injuries when used during normal play.
