Small children love to explore and place whatever they find in their mouths, which can be very dangerous, and pose a choking hazard. Each year, approximately 873 children ages 14 and under die from airway obstruction injuries. For instance, very young children are more likely to choke on non-food items such as coins, small toy parts, marbles, etc. The Child Safety Protection Act (CSPA) has banned any toy intended for use by children under age 3 that may pose a choking, aspiration or ingestion hazard. Furthermore, the CSPA requires choking hazard warning labels on packaging for such items that pose a hazard to children between the ages of 3 to 6.
