Those evil skateboards, children might fall.

US federal regulators are warning parents against toys yet again. Of course the more serious issue of lead paint and choking hazards came up, but there are toys out there that might cause children to hurt themselves.

Skateboards and inline skates (they forgot roller skates, I guess that bikes and ponies may come under "riding toys") may, surprise, surprise, cause your child to fall, which could be dangerous. If your child really wants that skateboard, maybe you could wrap him or her in bubble wrap before you let him or her use it.

Darts and sling slots could cause an eye injury. Well, here's some advice, don't aim for the eyes, unless it is your intention to cause eye injury.

Obviously small children put things in their mouths. Maybe parents should examine the toy themselves and then actually have to think for themselves in deciding whether or not that particular toy is safe for their child.

If you are that worried about lead paint, then don't buy products that were made in China. Kids already have way too many toys that they don't play with and that cost half a month's wages for that one toy. So please, don't buy your kids any more overpriced but cheaply made toys. Perhaps you should buy them a toy that they'd appreciate instead of what the industry is telling you to buy. Ignore this year's must-haves because they are probably a load of shite that will either be broken or neglected in the toy box by New Year's Day.
