Manufacturers or distributors sometimes recall a toy from the market if it is determined that it may be dangerous and has the potential to harm children. Toys that have been recalled in the past include puzzles, dolls, stuffed animals, video games, remote controlled appliances, music boxes, magnetic toys, and more. Corporations such as Fisher-Price®, Disney, Mattel®, Toys ‘R’ Us®, and other big-name companies have all recalled dangerous toys at one time or another in an attempt to protect consumers. However, many of these recalls occur after a child becomes injured or sick while playing with a toy. Toys may be recalled if they represent the following hazards to children: - Choking hazard
- Strangulation hazard
- Laceration hazard
- Violation of lead paint standard
- Risk of lead exposure
- Aspiration and intestinal hazard
- Fire hazard
- Explosion hazard (applies to remote controlled toys or appliances)
