As we embrace the season of giving, let’s prioritize the safety of our children. In 2023, approximately 231,700 toy-related injuries were treated in U.S. emergency departments, with 72% involving children 14 and under. To ensure joyful and safe celebrations: • Choose Age-Appropriate Toys: Ensure toys are suitable for the child’s age and developmental stage. • Inspect for Small Parts: Avoid toys with small components that can pose choking hazards, especially for children under three. • Prioritize Quality: Select toys from reputable brands that adhere to safety standards. Let’s make this holiday season memorable for all the right reasons. Thoughtful, safe gifting keeps the festivities bright and our loved ones protected. #SafeToysMonth #HolidaySafety #GiftsWithCare #ChildSafety #HappyHolidays
