Toy collectibles pose choking hazard to young children, the Food and Drug Administration said Thursday. The FDA reminded the public about this as the items' popularity increase especially during the gift-giving season. While the target of such products are adults, the FDA said colorful miniature replicas of iconic characters, vehicles, and objects entice young children.

They must also be made from non-toxic, lead-free, and phthalate-free materials. Lead is a toxic metal.
