World Against Toys Causing Harm, Inc., or WATCH, was founded by an attorney and child safety consumer activist and works to "educate the public about life-threatening toys and other children's products."

One of the items on the list, the Happy Birthday Bear, has small, gift-wrapped presents attached to the bears' paws by a thread. They can become detached and cause a choking hazard if swallowed, WATCH says.

WATCH has worked to educate the public about the dangers of certain toys since 1968. The worst-toys list has been published since 1973.

In response to the release of the WATCH list, the Toy Industry Association, Inc., which represents toy manufacturers, also released a statement of its own saying toy safety is a top priority for toy manufacturers.

The group said the U.S. government also closely monitors the safety of toys produced in the United States, and many of the toys on lists like those put out by consumer groups like WATCH do meet U.S. product safety standards.

The TIA said if also offers an online "Toy Safety Hotline" at www.toyhotline.com.
