                                    Toys and Gifts
                                    • Select only toys suitable for the child's age group, and make sure to read and follow all instructions.
                                    • Toys with small parts are dangerous for children under three years of age. Keep them out of their reach.
                                    • Make sure batteries in toys for young children are properly installed and not accessible to the child. A child should not take battery-operated toys to bed.
                                    • Dispose of packing materials (such as Styrofoam pellets and plastic bags) quickly. Children can choke on these items.
                                    • Keep cosmetics (such as perfume, aftershave and nail polish remover), medications, and household cleaners out of children's sight and reach and away from heat sources.
                                    • If using cosmetics for the first time, place a small amount on the back of the hand for a couple of hours. Redness or swelling may indicate an allergy and the product should not be used.
                                    As a recognized leader and an advocate for injury prevention, the Toronto Area Safety Coalition believes that safety is a right of all people and that injuries are predictable and preventable. We are committed to reducing the number of injuries and injury-related deaths in our community through collaboration and education.
