There are an average of 198,000 trips to the emergency room and over 20 deaths each year from children's toys. That's more hospital visits than we get from stranger danger and fires combined, and a topic we don't talk about nearly enough.
WATCH (World Against Toys Causing Harm) talks about it all year, and their own Joan Siff came aboard to talk with us about it: what toys cause harm, how we can learn what they are, and what we can do about it.
Not the most cheerful or exciting child safety topic, I know, but one we should all pay close attention to.
