You’ve read a lot lately about toxic toys and how to avoid them. But here’s a new resource worth taking note of. At www.momsrising.org, a family advocacy Web site founded in 2006, learn how to use a text-messaging system that will tell you instantly whether a toy is safe to buy.
It uses a database that was created earlier this month by the Michigan-based nonprofit Ecology Center and contains 1,200 toys tested by the center and other environmental health groups countrywide. You can search by product name, brand or toy type.
