Keep Children Safe – Help Prevent Choking Deaths
INFORMATIVE 
Tags: children, safety, death, choking
Each year, CPSC receives about 15 reports of choking deaths to children under age 3. Some of these deaths involve items that are considered known hazards such as small toys, toy parts, balloons, balls and marbles. Choking has long been the leading cause of toy-related deaths to young children. Steps parents can take to keep their children safe include:
| | Keep small objects like small toys and parts of toys, marbles, balloons, small balls and coins off the floor and out of reach of children. |
| | Toys designed for older children should be kept out of the hands of little ones. |
| | Follow labels that give age recommendations; these age recommendations are based on safety concerns. |
| | Teach older children to help keep their toys away from younger siblings. |
| | Check the eyes and noses of stuffed animals to ensure they are properly secured. |
