The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimates that every year children suffer injuries sometimes , grievously caused by unsafe toys ( in 2012, 260,000 Children were injured in Toy-Related Accidents). Nearly half of the accidents affected facial or eye injuries, which prompted the organization of Prevent Blindness America to declare December as Safe Toys and Gifts Awareness Month.

Here are some of the tips that will help marketers and parents to shop for safe toys during Christmas season.

  • Choose toys that are appropriate for the child’s age and developmental level.

  • Pick up durable toys without any shaped edges.
  • Make sure that the toys you buy meet the American Society for Testing and Materials standards.
