The Most Dangerous Toys of 2018
Before you head out and start buying your kids a bunch of toys for Christmas, the World Against Toys Causing Harm or W.A.T.C.H. wants you to know which toys are the most dangerous.
The consumer group puts out an annual list of the ten worst toys on the market. They choose the most dangerous based on the potential hazards.
The Toy Association unsurprisingly takes issue with the list saying it's "riddled with inaccuracies and unnecessarily frighten families rather than assuring them that toys are among the safest consumer products found in the home."
Here are the ten worst toys:
- 1
Nickelodeon Nella Princess Knight Pillow Pets Sleeptime Lights
Potential for ingestion and battery-related injuries.

Nerf Vortex VTX Praxis Blaster
