A consumer group based in Boston called World Against Toys Causing Harm (WATCH) has released its list of the ten worst toys for 2007. WATCH said it had a tough time limiting their list to only ten toys. Leading the list is Fisher-Price's "Go Diego Go" animal rescue boat because of the risk of lead ingestion. The toy was recalled in October. The other nine toys on the list are:
“The alarming number of recent toy recalls is evidence of an industry that has put profits before child safety,” WATCH said in a statement. “Many of the recalls issued were the result of lead and small parts violations— both hazards are well known by manufacturers and have no place in children’s products. Yet, toxic toys with excessive lead content accounted for at least thirty toy recalls, representing over five million units, since W.A.T.C.H.’s 2006 '10 Worst Toys' conference.”
