If you are looking to save some money, remember to be safe in your toy shopping adventures. Just because it's on sale doesn't mean it's the "best" way to go. Maybe you'll come across an older, cheaper toy at a thrift store for less than $5. But if it's a choking hazard (or it's been recalled), ditch it. It's better to be safe than sorry, am I right? Saving a few dollars in this case isn't worth it.
I recently came across the Healthy Canadians website, which is run by the Government of Canada. If you're unsure about the safety of new and used toys, take a look at the site's resources on toy safety. And if you need more details about product recalls, here's a helpful link. Scroll to the bottom and you can organize recalls by year and category.
