| **CSPA
means Child Safety Protection Act of 1994, which requires
specific warnings on toys with small parts or small balls
for children <6 years old. Toys on this list are examples
of potentially hazardous toys. This list contains examples
only from a survey conducted in Fall 2000 and should NOT be
regarded as all inclusive. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission does not test all toys on toy shelves. Parents
and other toy givers should read PIRG’s
“Tips for Toy and Child Safety” for more information about
choosing age-appropriate toys and about other toy hazards.
