CHICAGO (WLS) -- The Federal Trade Commission just released a checklist for parents if you're buying "smart toys" this holiday season.
The agency wants parents to find out if the toy has a camera or microphone, and if so, how can you tell when it's on?

Also, does the toy let the child send e-mails or connect to social media accounts?
And always find out what data gets collected from the toy and how that data might be shared.
