Toy Safety Each year, more than 3 billion toys and games are sold in the United States, with 65 percent of these sales occuring between the day after Thanksgiving and the day before Christmas. With millions of toys being recalled in recent months for having lead paint or dangerous magnets, it’s important to remember that the vast majority of toys are safe. It’s no wonder, though, that parents and caregivers are nervous this year as they head into the biggest toy-buying season. Safe Kids USA wants to make this holiday toy-shopping season as worry-free as possible while making sure shoppers are educated and vigilant. This Toy Safety page offers parents and caregivers the information they need to keep their children safe and happy -- exactly what the holidays are all about. In This Season of Recalls, Toy Shoppers Need to be Vigilant With more than 65 percent of the toys bought in the United States between the Friday after Thanksgiving and Christmas, parents and caregivers are heading into the year's busiest toy-buying season. But with millions of toys being recalled because of dangerous lead paint and magnets, toy shoppers need to remember that that number is a small fraction of the overall number of toys -- approximately 3 billion -- sold in the United States every year.
