theweaselkingStore reconsiders selling the Toasty Tots line of microwaveable stuffed toys.
The soft plush animals can be heated in the microwave to become warm dolls.
Mike McBreen, who teaches family education classes in Boulder, said he raised the concerns because he believes the toys could give children the wrong idea. He said he has had clients whose children have put cats and dogs in the washer, dryer and even oven.
"Little kids, preschoolers, and kids even in first grade don't realize that you can't do things like that," he said. "It's beyond their levels of comprehension. Older kids, when they start getting into mischief, don't need any more suggestions."
