Last month, toy manufacturer Fisher Price recalled more than 10 million toys in the U.S. due to injury and choking hazards. The recall includes tricycles, toys, and high chairs. Several children were injured, and seven needed stitches from the use of these products. For more information on this story, please see the report by ABC News. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) warns people who own any of these recalled items to stop using them and contact the manufacturer for repair kits and replacements.
According to CPSC statistics, there were 12 reported deaths linked to toys in 2009 among kids under 15 years old. More than half of those deaths (58%) were from riding toys including tricycles. That same year, there were approximately 250,100 injuries from toys which required treatment in emergency rooms.
