WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Don't buy these items! The Consumer Product Safety Commission is on a mission to keep dangerous children's products from being resold in yard sales, stores or online.

Here's a top ten list you want to avoid:

Playskool Travel Lite Play Yards

Evenflo Happy Camper Play Yards

Baby Trend Home and Roam and Baby Express Portable Cribs and Play Yards

Magnetix Magnetic Building Sets

Easy Bake Ovens

Polly Pocket Dolls with Magnets

Simplicity Drop Side Cribs

Simplicity Bassinets (also includes bassinets with Graco or Winnie The Pooh motif)

Hill Sportswear hooded drawstring sweatshirts

Evenflo Envision High Chairs

The CPSC says children have died because of flaws with most of these products.

The Easy Bake Oven poses entrapment and burn hazards.

The Polly Pocket Dolls with magnets have parts that can come loose. If more than one magnet is swallowed, the magnets can cause intestinal perforation or blockage. Several serious injuries have been reported.

And, the Evenflo Envision High Chair has fasteners and screws that can loosen and cause the children to fall out of the chair and hurt themselves.
