美公益组织发“圣诞节最糟糕的玩具”排行榜

A Nerf dart gun, ice cream-scented Nickelodeon slime and a plastic Power Rangers claw are among the toys topping a consumer safety group’s list of worst toys for the holidays.

一家消费者安全组织日前公布了“圣诞节最糟糕的玩具”排行榜，其中包括一把Nerf飞镖枪、散发着冰淇淋味的尼克儿童频道(Nickelodeon)的黏液以及一只塑料的Power Rangers爪。

World Against Toys Causing Harm unveiled its annual list Tuesday at a Boston children’s hospital.

周二，世界反玩具伤害联盟在波士顿儿童医院公布了年度名单。

A realistic toy machine gun, a “pogo trick board,” a yeti teddy bear and a pull-along caterpillar toy for infants also made the list.

此外，仿真玩具枪、pogo魔术板、雪人玩具熊和供婴儿使用的牵引履带式玩具也榜上有名。

The Massachusetts nonprofit has been releasing the list for more than 40 years.

这家位于马萨诸塞州的非营利组织发布这份榜单已经有40多年的历史了。

It says many of the products present choking, eye and other safety hazards frequently found in poorly designed toys. It also cites the products for having inconsistent and inadequate warnings labels.

该组织称，许多产品存在窒息、眼睛和其他安全隐患，而这些隐患通常存在于设计糟糕的玩具中。它还指出，这些产品的警告标签不一致和不充分。

The organization says the Nerf Ultra One gun, which is billed as firing soft darts up to 120 feet, shoots the projectiles with enough force to potentially cause eye injuries.

该组织说，Nerf Ultra One枪，被宣传为发射可达120英尺的软飞镖，发射的子弹有足够的力量可能导致眼睛受伤。

It also says the warning label on Flybar’s Pogo Trick Board tells children to wear protection, but the product’s packaging features a child using the device without a wearing a helmet or other protection.

该公司还表示，Flybar的Pogo魔术板上的警告标签告诉孩子们要戴上防护装置，但该产品的包装上显示，使用该装置的儿童没有戴头盔或其他防护装置。

And the association notes that Nickelodeon’s Frozen Treats Slime includes mint chocolate chip, berry smoothie, and snow cone-scented versions of the goo even as it warns the products are made of harmful chemicals and shouldn’t be eaten.

该协会指出，Nickelodeon的冷冻食品黏液包括薄荷巧克力片、浆果冰沙和雪锥味的黏液，尽管它警告说这些产品是由有害化学物质制成的，不应该食用。

The Toy Association, a toy industry trade group that represents most of the toymakers named on the list, dismissed the annual list as misleading. It suggests parents always purchase toys from reputable stores and online sellers.

代表名单上大多数玩具制造商的玩具行业贸易组织玩具协会(Toy Association)称，这份年度名单具有误导性。它建议父母坚持从信誉好的商店和网上卖家那里购买玩具。

“By law, all toys sold in the United States must meet 100+ rigorous safety tests and standards,” the organization said in a written statement.

该组织在一份书面声明中表示:“根据法律，所有在美国销售的玩具必须符合100多项严格的安全测试和标准。”

“On the other hand, W.A.T.C.H. does not test the toys in its report to check their safety; their allegations appear to be based on their misrepresentation or misunderstanding of the mandatory toy standards.”

“另一方面，W.A.T.C.H.并没有对报告中的玩具进行检测，以检查它们的安全性;他们的指控似乎是基于他们对强制性玩具标准的错误陈述或误解。”
