Common Choking Hazards For Children In Texas

This month we covered the frightening product liability recall of a dollar store dart gun that caused two children to choke to death as well as a Target giraffe security blanket that contained a choking risk for children. Sadly, choking hazards are a continuing problem in the world of infant products, baby toys, and toddler products. In fact, choking is a leading cause of death in children younger than one year of age and can be an ongoing problem for children up to the age of five. Although the government tries to regulate child toys and products to protect against choking hazards, most choking incidents involve small parts from toys, foods, coins, and other small objects.

How can you help prevent choking incidents regarding your children in Texas?

• Inspect your children’s toys and products. If a toy or a product that your child uses looks like a choking hazard, it probably is. Be wary of small parts, small, round objects, and toys that could break into smaller pieces.
• Supervise your children. One of the best ways to prevent a choking accident is simply be being with your children as they play. You can prevent your child from putting small toys in his or her mouth and aid your child if he or she does choke on a food or object.
• Learn the Heimlich maneuver for children. The Heimlich maneuver is relatively simple and can save a child’s life. Understand that the maneuver is not needed if the child can cough or talk. If your child can’t breathe or make a sound, work quickly to dislodge the object.
