Small children love to explore and place whatever they find in their mouths, which can be very dangerous, and pose a choking hazard.  Parents of young children and babies should always be cautious, and aware of household items with small parts and hanging cords that may be potentially dangerous and deadly to children.  Accordingly, the majority of childhood suffocation, choking and strangulation accidents occur in the child's home. Each year, approximately 873 children ages 14 and under die from airway obstruction injuries.  Approximately 18,000 suffocation injuries occur a year involving children.  Additionally, 44 percent of all toy related injuries result from choking hazards. 

For example, common household items that pose strangulation dangers are clothing drawstrings, pacifier strings, window blind, and drapery cords.  Additionally, openings that fits a small child's body is too small for his or her head, can lead to entrapment and strangulation, such as bunk beds, cribs, playground equipment, and baby strollers.  Furthermore, non-food choking hazards tend to be round in nature, such as small balls, or balloons.
