BOSTON — World Against Toys Causing Harm, Inc. (W.A.T.C.H.) today revealed its nominees for the “10 Worst Toys of 2015” and demonstrated the reason “Jurassic World Velociraptor Claws,” and other potentially hazardous toys, should not be in the hands of children.
With 46 percent of purchases this holiday season expected to be made via the Internet, W.A.T.C.H. is urging parents and caregivers to take extra precautions when buying toys online.
Among the “10 worst toys” this year are “Jurassic World Velociraptor Claws” and a “Foam Dart Gun.”
According to W.A.T.C.H., there’s no warning on the velociraptor claws package about the potential for eye or facial injury. The group took issue with the dart-shooter because it might be confused for an actual gun.
This year’s toy report, announced by Consumer Advocates Joan E. Siff, President of W.A.T.C.H., and James A. Swartz, a nationally known trial attorney and Director of W.A.T.C.H., demonstrated the types of toy hazards available online and in retail stores that parents should watch-out for.
