Sometimes as parents, we put our faith into the stores. We buy a toy from a large department store because, if they have it on the shelves, it must be safe. This is not true. We as parents must educate ourselves in knowing what toys are harmful or safe. I attaching this Toy Safety Manual for you to read and will be posting more toy recall websites so that you as parents can see which manufacturers are recalling their toys.
