Hmm. When I read the headline, I thought this had some angle with a lawsuit type service. If "my kid choked on a toy" and was injured, I would use a lawyer. So perhaps, you could build some sort of class action feature for peoples kids who were injured to file together and split the compensation. And maybe the site takes a fee as a percentage.

And that's the thought process that got a bunch of toys banned or restricted (such as magnets[1]) even though they can be responsibly used by many children. I don't think the problem is the product and certainly making it easier to start class action lawsuits will only further decrease the available toys until all we can purchase are pictures of toys. Just don't get a paper cut.
