Things You Should Never Buy At TJ Maxx

If you're heading to a specialty store to grab a gift for a baby shower and you just happen to see a TJ Maxx, consumer experts say you shouldn't drop by in the hopes of snagging a bargain. Gaynor Humphrey, who works with toy manufacturer Best Years, says the baby toys you're likely to find at TJ Maxx aren't just overstocks, they can also come from what Humphrey called third-party clearance houses. As a result, these toys may either be counterfeit, or worse. "[Toys] may not have been made to the strict standards you would want from a baby toy," Humphrey says (via Business Insider). 

Given the warnings we get from consumer sites about bedding and furniture as a whole, you're probably not going to want to pick up baby linens or furniture from TJ Maxx either.
