KIRKSVILLE, MO -- Shoppers this Christmas should watch out for toys that may look like fun, but could be dangerous for your child.  Fact Finder shows you what to watch out for when shopping.

The non-profit group, 'World Against Toys Causing Harm,' (WATCH) says some toys are made with toxic chemicals such as lead, or can have small parts that present a choking hazard for children.  These toys can also be labeled as 'appropriate for all ages.'

Watch's website lists the 10 worst toys each year.  Fact finder checked the list and here's what we found.

Toys that made the list included a Curious George counting book and some action figures.     Watch says these toys are dangerous even though many of them are labeled as appropriate.

You can find the complete list at toysafety.org.
