LANSING, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has issued a guide for parents and shoppers in being mindful of hazardous toys for children this holiday season.
“Every three minutes, a child is treated in a U.S. emergency room for a toy-related injury and because of this risk, it’s important that we share a few tips on how to make informed decisions when purchasing toys this holiday season,” Nessel said. “Our 2019 Dangerous Toys Guide is another resource for Michigan consumers to not only protect their wallets, but most importantly to protect their children from harm.”
To begin with, Nessel advises citizens to avoid toys with the following qualities:
- Strings
