A heating element is essentially a toy with an electric light bulb. Toy kitchen ranges, for example, use these, and shouldn't be played with by kids under 8. |
The toy industry, in cooperation with the CPSC, does a good job of getting items off the store shelves in the event of a recall. But you'll still find a lot of recalled items at thrift stores. |
This is a classic dilemma. Children under 3 put everything in their mouth. Until that child is above three, you should have no small parts. |
While it is a risk, we determined that it didn't meet the legal threshold for regulatory action. |
