Because of the numerous toy recalls this year, parents need to be careful what they buy their children for Christmas even though some retailers have created toy safety programs. Some alternatives are available such as buying toys from specialty shops that only sell European-made items.

Magnified is a new monthly series produced by the Express-News multimedia team. Each month we will choose a topic that is in the news and use video to tell the story from three different angles. This series was my idea originally.

Note: I only produced Part 1 and 3 in this series.
