Autores ResumoIt is hard to believe that a toy, something that gives children joy and laughter, can cause harm, and in some cases, even death. Sadly, it happens, and many times it could have been prevented. According to the National SAFE KIDS campaign in 2001, about 202,500 children under the age of 15 were seen in emergency rooms for toy injuries. In 2002, an estimated 165,200 children were seen for toy related injuries and at least 13 children age 14 years and under died from toy related injuries. Children ages 4 and under account for nearly half of toy related injuries and 90% of all deaths ( National Safe Kids Campaign, 2005 National Safe Kids Campaign.
