The agency advises shoppers to research the products on a child's wish list 'before buying a toy with a microphone, a camera, a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection or any ability to collect information about young children.'
The report comes after the Federal Trade Commission accused Amazon of violating federal children's privacy laws through its Alexa service by keeping the voice recordings of children, horror stories of hackers speaking to children through their baby monitors and an 11-year-old girl was kidnapped by a man she met through the online gaming platform Roblox.
