Annual 'Worst Toys' List Released By Consumer Safety Group
A Nerf gun, a Cabbage Patch Kids doll, and a xylophone for infants made the list, along with a plush doll that comes with a small kitten as an accessory, a stomp rocket, and a pillow pet that lights up.

The nonprofit organization's president, Joan Siff, says many of the toys represent choking, eye and other safety hazards that surface year after year.
A plastic knife sold with magnetic fruit could "cause puncture wounds and other blunt force trauma injuries," said W.A.T.C.H.

A pull-along dog on wheels was cited for its 19-inch sting and lack of warning to parents.

The Toy Association, a toy industry trade group, says the annual list is biased and inaccurate. They also say W.A.T.C.H. does not test the toys.
W.A.T.C.H. has been releasing its list for more than four decades.
