Holiday Safety

This holiday season, no matter which holiday you celebrate, let’s work together to keep kids safe. When buying toys, do you check the age recommendations on the package? Keep these helpful tips in mind while toy shopping this holiday season:

  • Buy age appropriate toys
  • Keep button bateries away from kids
  • Keep choking hazards out of reach from small children
  • Don't forget the helmet if gifting a bike or scooter
  • Look out for recalls and register your toys if they come with a registration card

Our injury prevention team has plenty of tips to keep you and your family safe this holiday season.
