CHILD SAFETY
TOY INJURY PREVENTION TIPS
Some tips to prevent injury from Toys :
When selecting toys, consider the child’s age, interests and skill level; look for quality design and construction; and follow age and safety recommendations on labels.
Ensure that toys are used in a safe environment. Riding toys should not be used near stairs, traffic or swimming pools.
Always supervise children at play. Play is even more valuable when adults become involved and interact with children during play rather than supervising from a distance.
Teach children to put toys away safely after playing. Ensure that toys intended for younger children are stored separately from those for older children.
Consider purchasing a small parts tester to determine whether small toys may present a choking hazard to children under age 3.
Do not allow children to inflate balloons. Deflate and discard balloons and balloon pieces after use.
Inspect old and new toys regularly for damage and potential hazards. Make any necessary repairs immediately or discard damaged toys out of children’s reach.
Young children should never play with toys with strings, straps or cords longer than 7 inches, which can unintentionally strangle them.
Electrical toys are a potential burn hazard & could easily cause injury. Children under age 8 should not use toys with electrical plugs or batteries.
