TOY BUYING

Choose the toys you buy for your family and friends with care. Visit the website of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission at www.cpsc.gov for the latest recalls and warnings before you buy.

Keep in mind the child's age, interests, and skill level.

Look for quality design and construction.

Discard plastic wrappings on toys right away.

Be a label reader:

Heed age recommendations

Fabric products should read "Flame retardant/Flame resistant."

Stuffed toys and dolls should have "Washable/Hygienic materials."
