These Toys Rn't Us

Just as they have for the past 24 years, the U.S. Public Interest Research Group has released their annual list of dangerous toys just in time for Christmas shopping. The bad toy list includes the Stompers Triceratops from Playskool that they say is loud enough to cause hearing loss and Pretty Princess Puppy Purse from Claire's that has "potentially toxic" chemicals. While not dangerous, they're discouraging parents from purchasing Put Your Clothes Back On Elmo, Ethnic Cleansing Barbie, and the Zhu Zhu Pets Special Edition Richard Gere Gerbil.

The last set of toys are on the list, but with no explanation as to why.....

Based on my experience, just setting foot into Claire's exposes you to enough toxins to turn your lips, hair, fingernails and eyelids day-glo green.
