1. BB guns and slingshots. RIGHT.
All toys that fire projectiles or fly are dangerous to young children. This is partly because they invite children to target other youngsters. BB guns, pellet guns, bows and arrows, and darts are extremely dangerous and should not be given to children.

Even common household items such as kitchen forks or knives can be dangerous to your eyes. Avoid toys or things with sharp points, spikes, or sharp edges. Eye injuries are often the result of misuse, abuse, and altering of toys.

Toys that are meant for older children can be dangerous when misused or used by younger children.
