The Office of Fair Trading is reiterating advice concerning the safety of toys.
People are being reminded to check toys are safe for children by looking at the safety standard symbols, to be vigilant when wrapping Christmas presents and to pay attention to any warnings or symbols.
Consumers are also asked to pay close attention to any age limits and to check they are suitable.
John Wannenburgh MHK, Chair of the OFT, said: 'We at the OFT are acutely aware of how difficult this Christmas may be financially for families.
'Nevertheless, consumers need to be vigilant when buying cheaper versions of well-known toys in case they are counterfeit and potentially unsafe. Checking for these symbols should help.
'Consumers should also be wary of toys that come with poorly written instructions, for example, including obvious typos.
'If the deal seems too good to be true, then it probably is.'
