Parts from damaged toys can break off and become a choke hazard. Sharp edges can cause dangerous cuts or other abrasions. If a toy requires assembly, make sure a responsible adult assembles the product by completely following the manufacturer's instructions. Keep deflated and broken balloons away from small children. Infants and toddlers can easily get them caught in their throats and suffocate.
Electric toys can become a shock hazard if they're misused.
Remember, water and electricity never mix. Never allow your children to use electric toys near water. Watch television newscasts and scan newspapers and consumer magazines for information on toy or other household product recalls. Whenever possible, complete and return product warranty and registration forms to the manufacturer. If a product is recalled, the manufacturer can use these forms to contact you directly.
