Noisy Toys Not on Healthytoys.org List?

Healthytoys.org has a list of toys that are, well, um, unhealthy if not played with properly.

UC Irvine has another classification for toys - noisy toys.

Noisy toys made in China or otherwise. 

"For some of the louder toys, if a child were to take that and hold it out against their ear for a matter of minutes, they could potentially do some long-term hearing damage,"  said one researcher.

Really now. And, we wonder how much money was wasted on research to come to that conclusion.

"What we're trying to push here is not that the toys themselves aresinging.teddy.bear.jpg bad or shouldn't be purchased or taken off the market or anything like that. It's more education and supervising your child and making sure they understand what's safe and what's not," he continued.

But, will they put directions on the toys to explain how not to go deaf playing with it?

Or maybe a warning label? 

Singing dolls and teddy bears should not be listened to at full volume at less than one arm's length for several minutes.

Uh...seriously, could a kid that plays with singing dolls and teddy bears do that? 

And do those toys have volume controls on them?
