ToySafety.org: Santa's newest helpers?

Just in time for the holidays, ToySafety.org, a prominent website that reports on dangerous toys, has released its annual "worst toys" list.

Folks, not to minimize the danger of hazardous products, but we live in the blogospheric era of 24/7 news which has given us more news than we can ever use and something called trend inflation.   That’s the bad news.  The good news?  Consumers see red flags faster and earlier than ever.  The fact that we had to have a toy safety monitoring mechanism says something very troubling about product design and manufacture today (read:offshore).   On the other hand, the fact that we have one at all is reassuring.  If you’re going to market products manufactured overseas, better monitor the local systems at least as closely as Toy Safety.org is monitoring your products.  In other words, you better see your product through the eyes of the people to whom you’re selling it.
