  1. TOY SAFETY TIPS

  2. UNDER 3 YEARS OLD • Little children put everything in their mouths. • Be careful of toys with small parts. • Avoid toys with sharp edges and points. • Look for toys that are well-made. • Choking danger! • Uninflated or broken balloons • Marbles, small balls or games with balls

  3. AGES 3 THROUGH 5 • Avoid toys with pieces that could break easily. • Teach older children to keep their toys away from younger brothers and sisters.

  4. AGES 6 THROUGH 12 • Check toys frequently to make sure they’re not broken. • If you buy a bicycle, buy a helmet too, and make sure your child wears it. • If buying a toy gun, make sure it’s brightly colored, so that it’s not mistaken for a real gun. • Teach all children to put toys away when they’re finished playing.

  5. CHOKING HAZARDS • Don’t buy small toys or toys with small parts for children under 3. • Read and pay attention to warning labels. • Never give young children small balls or balloons.

  6. MAGNETIC TOYS • Keep magnetic toys away from children under 6. • If a child swallows more than one magnet, call your doctor right away.

  7. NOISE • Children’s ears are sensitive. To protect children from loud toys: • If a toy is too loud for you, it is too loud for your child. • Take batteries out of loud toys, or cover the speakers with tape.

  8. STRANGULATION HAZARDS • Keep mobiles out of reach of children in cribs. Remove them before the baby is 5 months old or can pull himself up. • Remove knobs or beads from cords longer than one foot, so the cords don’t tangle into a dangerous loop.

  9. TOXIC CHEMICALS • Avoid toys made of PVC plastic; choose wooden or cloth toys instead. • Read labels on play cosmetics; avoid products with “xylene,” “toluene,” or “dibutyl phthalate.”

  10. LEAD • Children’s health groups have found high levels of lead in some children’s jewelry. • High lead can lead to delays in growth or death. • Tell your children not to put their jewelry in their mouths.
