Every year more than  70,000 children under the age of 4 are treated in emergency room hospitals for toy choking accidents.

There are lots of toy testing “gimmicks” sold to help you determine whether or not a toy is a choking hazard for a child under the age of 3.   Save your money!!

Here’s a cheap, quick test that anyone can do without any special equipment, and the results will be the same as those of a tester you purchase.  All you need is a toilet paper roll (yea…we all have those around).  If the item will slip completely through the roll while you’re holding it upright, then the toy is unsafe and a potential choking hazard for children under 3.

There ya go!  No special trips to the store and no money required.  Keep your children safe.  If you see this

then don’t take chances of purchasing this toy for children under 3 years!
