Avoiding Toy Hazards, Dec Child

Choking: The #1 danger
For children under 4, watch out for:
¿¿¿ Toys with small parts (like button eyes on animals or dolls and wheels on trains or cars) that can be pulled loose.
¿¿¿ Crib or floor toys with cord or string: Can strangle babies.
¿¿¿ Balloons: If popped and put in mouth, breathing can be blocked. Don't let kids under 8 play with them unattended.
¿¿¿ Shrink-wrap, plastic straps, and bolts used to package toys.
¿¿¿ Button batteries: Even if a child swallows one without choking, the electric currents can damage the esophagus. Get him to the ER immediately -- removing it may require surgery.
