Feds warn against dangerous kid toys this holiday season

MIAMI -- In a scene that looked a lot like Christmas morning, a table stacked with toys sat in a room -- never to be played with. There was a Barbie doll on a bicycle, a set of ping pong paddles and a huge inflated plastic ball.

The problem?

All the toys featured are either choking hazards, suffocation dangers or have traces of lead. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection displayed the toys on Thursday to warn the public about the dangers of some of them this holiday season.
