Wagon and Barney Song Magic Keyboard. But doctors say warnings are worth
nothing if parents dont heed them.
(DR. BEN GITTERMAN/CHILDRENS NATIONAL MEDICAL CENTER :06)
Children are not little adults. They dont know how to make the right
choices. Adults have to do it for them.
Some companies still add toxic chemicals called phthalates to soften PVC
plastic toys, even though its been linked to kidney damage. Thats why
the group wont recommend this Who Loves Baby toy, which kids under
three are sure to put in their mouth. But none of this: the lists, the
labels, means anything if parents dont supervise their children. Chris
