(CHICAGO) For those shopping for children’s items this Black Friday, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan is encouraging adults to check out her annual Safe Shopping Guide.

So far this year there have been 84 recalls of children’s products by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

“The typical hazards are still out there. Some of the really strong rare earth magnets, you have to be careful of those,” Madigan said. “We still are finding toys were there is lead in the paint.”
