As a mom, you know a thing or two about comparison-shopping. But with product safety and toxic toys making headlines, it’s tough to determine what’s safe and what may be dangerous for your family. Because you need the facts fast, the advocacy group MomsRising.org will answer all of your toy-safety questions via text message for more than 1,200 toys tested.
While browsing the aisles for (yet another) birthday present, simply text “healthytoys,” followed by a toy name, retailer or manufacturer to 41411. Momentarily, you’ll receive feedback for your selection. A search for Elmo Flashlight, for example, returned the warning “chemical levels detected.” So, your shopping won’t be slowed down, and you can give gifts with confidence.
