No joy for dodgy toys this Christmas

A Peppa Pig chainsaw, a Pikachu wand and an archery set are some of the dangerous toys that have failed Fair Trading’s 2018 Christmas toy compliance blitz.

Minister for Better Regulation Matt Kean said Fair Trading investigators trawled through more than 560 stores around the State and found 24 toys that are not safe for Santa to leave under the Christmas tree this year.

“Most of the dangerous toys, like the Peppa Pig chainsaw, failed testing because the battery compartment isn’t secured, or they have small parts that can fall off,” Mr Kean said.
