Dec 12, 2007 -- Parents get new online resource for toy safety

With the holiday season upon us, parents are freaked out about the safety of children's toys. There's a new website called HealthyToys.org that's done research into which toys are safe and which ones are not. You may notice this website loads up slowly. That's because it's getting so many hits after a lot of media exposure -- which just goes to show how important this issue is to people. When it does load, you'll see a picture of a child with a rubber ducky in her mouth. Manufacturers use lead in rubberized toys to give them more consistency. Clark recently caught the ire of Neal Boortz -- a syndicated radio host and one of his friends -- for saying that government should have a role in enforcing toy safety. Be that as it may, you have to err on the side of safety when you're a parent. One thing HealthyToys.org definitely says you should stay away from is jewelry for kids. More than 1 in 3 pieces of kid's jewelry that was tested contained so much lead that it could decrease your child's IQ.
