THE THREATOFCONTERFEITTOYS
COUNTERFEITTOYS
Counterfeit toys may not seem
like a big deal, but they come
with many safety risks. Each
toy manufactured and sold in
the US must meet safety
standards. Counterfeit toys
don't have to follow these
regulations. There is no way to
know what safety risks the toy
posses until its too late.
P R E V E N T I O N
Officials are consistently
monitoring what toys come
into the US. In 2013, 5
companies were accused of
importing hazardous toys
from China. The toys were
confiscated by officials.
About 500,000 children from
ages 1 to 5 have dangerously
high blood lead levels
reports the CDC
T H ES Y M P T O M S
Children under the age of 6
are at a high risk for high
blood lead levels. The scary
part is the symptoms don't
usually show up until the
levels are high. The symptoms
are:
Irritability, Loss of appetite,
Weight loss, Sluggishness,
Abdominal discomfort,
Vomiting, Constipation,
Learning difficulties

These are pretty normal
everyday behaviors for younger
children. If you believe your
child behavior has changed, you
should seek medical care. It's
always better to be safe than
sorry. If the health and behavior
is in fact because of the
counterfeit toy, you have the
right to legal compensation. You
should contact an attorney for
legal help.
