Children can swallow, inhale or choke on items such as small toys, peanuts and marbles.

  • Choose toys appropriate to the age of the child.
  • Ensure that small objects such as marbles and peanuts and small toys are kept out of reach of children under 3 years old.
  • Encourage older children to keep their toys away from their younger playmates.
  • Pull cords on curtains and blinds should be kept short and kept out of reach.
  • Keep animals, especially cats, out of the bedroom and use a net on a pram.
