Safety should come first when you're shopping for toys for kids — then, of course, fun. Some toys aren't properly labeled and could be dangerous if your kid got ahold of them, which is why World Against Toys Causing Harm, a non-profit that educates the public about toy safety, issued a list of the most dangerous toys this year to help Santa (and parents).

Here is the list from WATCH of toys you need to avoid this year:

Peppa Pig's Muddy Puddles Family

Toy, Baby toys, Pink, Fictional character, Plastic, Doll, Baby Products, Souvenir, Playset, Animation, pinterest

This set of four figurines is marked for ages three and up, and has a printed warning on the front for a choking hazard, but the same toys are also sold for ages two and up (oral-age children) without a warning. The package marked for the younger age group could be hazardous for choking injuries.

Kids Time Baby Children's Elephant Pillow

Elephant, Elephants and Mammoths, Toy, Stuffed toy, Purple, Indian elephant, Violet, Lavender, African elephant, Animal figure, pinterest

He might look cute and cuddly, but this stuffed animal is marked for infants without any warnings or age recommendations on the product. The CPSC says that pillows can block a baby's mouth and can cause them to suffocate, and infant pillows and similar articles are banned for children under one year old.

Slime Ball Slinger

Musical instrument accessory, Musical instrument, Music artist, String instrument accessory, Guitar accessory, String instrument, pinterest

This slingshot will launch a "slimeball" over 30 feet, which might excite your kids, but projectiles with that much force have the potential to cause serious eye injuries.

Banzai Bump N' Bounce Body Bumpers

Human, Electric blue, Advertising, pinterest

As you can see on the packaging, children as young as four years old are encouraged to use these bumper balloons without protective gear (like helmets or elbow pads). There is a warning on the inside of the package, but if your little ones were impacted or bumped hard they could be seriously injured.

Nerf Rival Apollo XV-700 Blaster

Gun, Firearm, Line, Trigger, Gun accessory, Drawing, Gun barrel, Air gun, Cylinder, pinterest

Kids over the age 14 are encouraged to perform "intense head-to-head competition" with this "blaster," but WATCH points out that the ammunition in the package could shoot with enough force to cause eye injuries. Face masks are shown on the box, but have to be purchased separately.

The Good Dinosaur Galloping Butch

Organism, Animal figure, Jaw, Terrestrial animal, Dinosaur, Carnivore, Tooth, Extinction, Animation, Toy, pinterest

The tail on this dinosaur is meant to be pushed in order to make it run, but it's very pointy and could cause a puncture wound for a child as young as three.

Peppy Pups

Brown, Toy, Carnivore, Stuffed toy, Dog breed, Dog, Box, Animal figure, Liver, Carton, pinterest

Look out for the leash on this little pup's collar: The industry standard for crib toys says strings must be less than 12 inches in length, but this one is a whopping 31 inches long.

Flying Heroes Superman Launcher

Human body, Fictional character, Superhero, Toy, Red, Hero, Carmine, Spider-man, Superman, Electric blue, pinterest

If Superman soars too close to your child's face, the wings could cause serious eye and facial injuries. There's a warning not to aim it at your face, but children as young as four years old shouldn't be using the product without adult supervision.

Baby Magic Feed and Play Baby

Magenta, Toy, Doll, Peach, Sock, Thread, pinterest

Baby comes with a baby bottle, high chair, blanket, foot dish and an interactive spoon that could be very dangerous. The plastic spoon is slender enough that your child could swallow it and choke.

Warcraft Doomhammer

Fictional character, Gun accessory, Figurine, pinterest

Unfortunately, this "doom" hammer doesn't provide any sort of warning about the potential for impact injuries, in fact it encourages them. Protect your kids from any blunt injuries by steering clear of this toy.

Looking for some toys you can feel good about? Our engineers at the Good Housekeeping Institute vet toys each year, and make sure that each one meets safety standards set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). They set up toys to evaluate assembly, construction and durability; check for pinch points and drop-test toys to ensure they won't shatter into small pieces with sharp edges or pose a choking hazard.

"We do additional redundancy testing for all toys, because we want to make sure that the toys we're recommending for consumers to buy are actually meeting the safety standards set by the CPSC," says Lewis Heayns, Test Engineer at the Good Housekeeping Institute. "You'd be surprised how many toys are out there that don't pass our standards." Any toy that meets their standards, gets put to the kid-testers, who decide which ones are the most fun to play with.
