Most Americans Unconcerned About Toy Safety
Even as children are getting ready to unwrap their Christmas presents, toy safety is not concern for most American Adults.
Just 37% of all Americans are at least somewhat concerned about the safety of most toys being sold this holiday season, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. That is up just slightly from 33% last year and includes 14% who are Very Concerned. However, toy safety concerns are still down significantly from a high of 53% in 2012.
Most Americans, though (60%), are not concerned about toy safety this holiday season, unchanged from a year ago. This includes 25% who are Not At All Concerned. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
