The toy culprit that causes the most child injuries was found in a new study.
Collapsible scooters - the ones popularized by Razor in the early 2000s - are responsible for toy injury rates increasing by 40 percent between 1990 and 2011, according to The Consumer Product Safety Commission's (CPSC) study.
The study was conducted on the injuries inflicted on children under 18. This was the first long-term look on all toy-related injuries on a nationwide scale.
"We want to see kids be adventuresome. We want to see kids play. But you need to think about the consequences if a toy is not appropriate for them," Kate Carr, president of Safe Kids Worldwide, an advocacy group, told USA Today.
Carr said to ensure children's safety be sure to buy toys that are age-appropriate. Helmets should also accompany bicycle and scooter purchases.
Although toy injuries are increasing, CPSC says statistics on recalls and deaths related to toys are declining.
The industry and others "are doing a lot to prevent injuries ... but we can do more," researcher Gary Smith, director of the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children's Hospital, said to USA Today.
The study was published Monday in Clinical Pediatrics.
