Recalled Toys for Christmas

As we know from last year there are toys which get recalled. If you are anything like I am you are a bargin hunter. I love to buy toys which are on sale for the holidays. This makes my shopping budget stretch further which means that I can buy more and more. The trouble with this is that some stores try to sell recalled items at a discount rather then removing them from their shelves. I think that checking what has been recalled is important before you head out shopping. Here are some great sites to examine what has been recalled and for what.

1. US Consumer Product Safety Commission: This is the site from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission. It covers all of the recently recalled toys in an easy to follow format. I would think that this site has the most valid information given the source.
2. Parents.com has a pretty comprehensive list of items that were recalled in 2008. It is also a nice site to look around and explore.

Both of these sites offer a comprehensive list of what not to buy while you are shopping this holiday season. After last year I think that it is important to note the some of the toys on the list are there because they contain high amounts of lead. I personally would like to avoid poisoning my children and assume that you would like to do the same!
