I've read about W.A.T.C.H - World Against Toys Causing Harm, Inc. Basically this is a non-profit corporation, founded by Edward M. Swartz (1934-2010), who was a nationally known trial lawyer and child safety consumer advocate. The main objective of this organization is to educate the public to the dangers lurking in many toys and children’s products.
