small parts for children under age 3. If a toy or part of a toy
can pass through a toilet paper tube, don't buy it for a child
under age 3, or any child who still puts things in his/her
mouth. Read and heed warning labels: Toys with small parts
intended for children between ages 3 and 6 are required by law
to include an explicit choking hazard warning. Never give young
children small balls or balloons: Small balls, balloons and
pieces of broken balloons are particularly dangerous, as they
can completely block a child's airway. Balls for children under
6 years old must be more than 1.75 inches in diameter. Never
give latex balls to children younger than 8 years old. 2.
