WASHINGTON (AP) -- A reminder from the government: check those holiday shopping lists to make sure no recalled children's toys are on them.
All the products were recalled in the past year, the commission said. A Nerf football and a Bat mobile toy car were among some of the items on the list released Monday. The agency also is launching Neighborhood Safety Network, a Web-based grass-roots effort to help spread the word about safety recalls to consumers who may be harder to reach. CPSC Chairman Hal Stratton said the network will put lifesaving information into the hands of people who need it most. "These messages are posted and passed on in Boys and Girls Clubs, American Indian reservations, fire houses and housing projects," he said.

What a bummer. I guess I won�t be getting that Batmobile after all or that Nikko radio-controlled truck; it seems it overheats. But all kidding aside, to lose a child at this time of year or any time for that matter is tragic. See the link provided for the list of the toys on the CPSC list.
