This holiday season has been tainted with reports about toy recalls pouring in from left and right. While toy industry authorities like the Toy Industry Association and the US Consumer Product Safety Commission are doing their level best to ensure that dangerous toys are recalled before they hit the shelves, there is still an alarming fact to consider. What happens to the recalled toys once they are recalled? One would think that they would be pulled off the shelves and discarded, right? Unfortunately, while the recalled toys are being pulled off the shelves, they are still floating around the market place. These recalled toys are readily available at online auction sites, e-commerce sites and also at some brick-and-mortar retailers, says MarkMonitor, a well respected enterprise brand protection firm. Here's the full story about Recalled Toys Still Being Sold.
