PHOTOS: Shoppers warned of dangerous toys, household items during holiday season

Tuesday, November 21, 2017
Two annual reports about toys and household items that may be harmful for children were released Tuesday, ahead of the busy holiday shopping season.

The annual Trouble in Toyland report, published by the Illinois Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) Education Fund, includes information about the potentially hazardous toys.

The report exposes fidget spinners full of lead, inadequately-labeled toys and balloons that pose a choking hazard, and data-collecting toys that may violate children's privacy and other consumer protection laws.

Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan released the 10th annual "Safe Shopping Guide" that identifies toys and other unsafe household items. Some of the items are still for sale in stores, despite being recalled.
