The Society also suggests that shoppers keep a lookout for these potential hazards:
• Avoid projectile items, such as guns, that shoot darts or corks.
• Check toy, for any sharp, exposed edges, points, nails, or screws.
• Examine dolls, stuffed animals and other cuddly toys for rigid interior frames that can poke through outside coverings.
• Check for loose parts that can become detached, exposing sharp metal or plastic.
• Avoid toys that shatter or are easily breakable.
The Society is especially concerned that parents and friends continue to purchase projectile non-toys for children. These include air. and spring o^l-atdd. gun's,' f%j^ots, bows and arrows, and darts. “It’s not easy to say *no’ toJgift requests,” says Mr. Carlomagno. “But children can be reassured that old St. Nick will come through with an even better — and much safer toy. Disappointment over an unfilled request will be forgotten, but an eye injury may be forever.”
