Check packaging for information regarding noise level of product. Never hang toys with long strings, cords, loops, or ribbons in cribs or playpens where children can become entangled. Remove crib gyms from cribs when children can pull up on hands and knees. Some children have strangled after having fallen across crib gyms that were stretched across their cribs. Projectile and flying toys can become weapons when improperly used.
Eyes are particularly vulnerable.
Children should never play with lawn darts or other objects or equipment with sharp points. All arrows or darts should have soft cork tips or rubber suction cups to prevent injury. Check these toys often to make sure tips are secure. Avoid dart guns they can fire other objects, such as nails or pencils, that were not intended for the toy. Electric toys with heating elements are recommended for children over eight years old.
