‘TIS THE SEASON TO BE CAREFUL WITH TOYS

Filed under: Safe Kids — Hugo Aguilar @ 4:56 pm

Santas are always serious about safety. So here are some extra tips from Texas Children’s Hospital and the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission to help them out.

Five toys can land kids in the emergency room quicker than any others: 1) Scooters and riding toys! They can be deadly without a helmet that is sized to fit. 2) Toys with small parts can be swallowed, causing choking. 3) Un-inflated balloons, or pieces of balloons that have burst, can choke and even suffocate small children. 4) The magnets that are often found inside small toy parts can stick together in the intestines causing another life-threatening condition. 5) Chargers and adapters can burn small children. They should not be given to small children without adult supervision.

The Texas Hammer, a new grandfather, urges you to contact Safe Kids Greater Houston for even more info about keeping kids safe over the holidays at www.safekidsgreaterhouston.org. It’s part of Texas Children’s Hospital. Jim S. Adler& Associates is a member of Safe Kids Greater Houston, an organization devoted to protecting children.
