ST. LOUIS – The Illinois Public Interest Research Group released its 38th annual Trouble in Toyland report on Monday. It gives parents and gift givers an idea of how specific smart toys work, as well as tips and questions to ask before buying toys with technology that can collect information about young children.“There are multiple reviews on Amazon with parents saying they opened this up, took it out of the box, and literally strangers started talking to their children on it,” Abe Scarr, director of the Illinois Public Interest Research Group, said.But Scarr says just because a toy has a camera or microphone doesn’t make it unsafe.“It’s about understanding how it works and whether it’s secure, and we think this is an example of a toy that does feature a camera,” he said. “It is a smart toy, but also is relatively safe.” Close Thanks for signing up!
