CALICO CRITTERS NURSERY FRIENDS
W.A.T.C.H. says: "This set of cute 'critters' is labeled for ages '3+' on the throw-away
packaging, however 'flocked animals', regardless of labels, are appealing to oral-age
children, as recognized by the industry small parts regulation. The Calico Critters collection
includes small parts, such as a pacifier, with the potential for choking injuries."
TOYSMITH MISSILE LAUNCHER
W.A.T.C.H. says: "5 year old children are advised to 'GO! Launch' this 'missile' with the
provided slingshot-like launcher, and 'watch it soar…up to 75 ft!' The warnings and cautions
make no mention of potential for eye or facial injuries. Moreover, the act of initiating launch
occurs near a child’s face, as depicted on the packaging."
