Smart Holiday Shopping

Parents are crowding into stores this holiday season, searching for toys that will prompt huge smiles, cheers and hugs from their kids. But parents also need to keep in mind that there are potentially dangerous toys on store shelves. They must use judgment and common sense with every purchase.

New federal laws passed in the wake of the massive toy recalls of 2007 are kicking in, which means the toys out for this year should be among the safest ever! When shopping, parents can improve their chances of picking a safe toy by paying attention to the warning labels on toy packaging.
