For those unfamiliar, W.A.T.C.H. stands for World Against Toys Causing Harm, Inc., and they put out a list of toys hitting or on the market that could be potentially hazardous to kids, saying this report “addresses the types of toy hazards available online and in retail stores so parents know what deadly traps to avoid when buying toys.”
Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel is the fourth on the list, as W.A.T.C.H specifically takes issue with the Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel Superstar Blade.
