Holiday toy buying safety tips

Columbus, OH – At a democratic presidential debate hosted by Iowa and National Public Radio Tuesday, a couple of the candidates said they would not buy any toys made in China this holiday season.

The group called Safe Kids Central Ohio, a division of the Columbus health department, says most of the three billion toys and games sold in the U.S. are safe but there are some things to consider in addition to those recalls. Safe Kids coordinator Linda Tvorik talks with Mike Foley about some safety ideas toy buyers should remember.
