  • Safe Toys and Gifts Month<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    While most people know to avoid gifts with small parts for very young children because they can be a choking hazard, you may not know what other types of gifts may be dangerous or inappropriate, not only for children but for adults as well. Share important information relating to gift safety to prevent accidents.<\/p>\n
