09.29.2010

More toy recalls, this time for Fisher Price. They are recalling more than 10 million tricycles, toys and high chairs because of safety concerns.

Toys recalled:

  • Fisher-Price Trikes
  • Tough Trikes toddler tricycles
  • Healthy Care, Easy Clean and Close to Me High Chairs
  • Baby Playzone Crawl and Cruise Playground toys
  • Baby Playzone Crawl & Slide Arcade Toys
  • Baby Gymtastics Play Wall
  • Ocean Wonders Kick & Crawl Aquarium
  • 1-2-3 Tetherball
  • Bat & Score Goal
  • Little People Wheelies Stand ‘n Play Rampway

I’m thinking that homemade toys (like a box and some empty plastic bottles maybe) as a way for kids to keep themselves occupied is becoming the best choice for parents. Building a ship or a cave from sofa cushions is fun not to mention kicking around a ball in the courtyard is fun too. Are all these different toys even necessary? We sure do start mass consumerism at an early age only to endanger so many children as a result.
