text: Avoid toy injuries! The busy holiday shopping season is upon us. While that can mean plenty of fun for children, it can also bring harm due to injuries caused by hidden hazards in some toys.
  A child is treated in an emergency room every three minutes for a toy injury, and more than half of such injuries occur to children under age 5. Many of these injuries happen when children choke on toys that contain small parts. Caregivers should keep small parts away from young children and ensure children avoid playing with magnets or batteries, which are extremely dangerous if swallowed. How do you know if a toy, or its parts, are too small for young children? We recommend using a small parts tester, such as a toilet paper roll. If you are able to drop parts of toys into such a tester, then those toys are too small for children under age 3 to play with.
  It's important to realize that all of these toy injuries are preventable.
  Inspect all toys to ensure they are safe
  Supervise children when they play with toys, which means actively playing with children rather than just being in the same room with them
