SAFETY GROUP NAMES ‘WORST TOYS’ FOR HOLIDAYS

A Black Panther “slash claw” and a plastic Power Rangers sword are among the items topping a consumer safety group’s annual list of worst toys for the holiday season. Massachusetts-based World Against Toys Causing Harm unveiled its 46th annual list of the 10 “worst toys” Tuesday at Franciscan Children’s Hospital in Boston. Joan Siff, the nonprofit organization’s president, said many of the toys on the list represent choking, eye and other safety hazards.
