Did you know that one child in the US dies from choking every five days according to the SAFE KIDS Campaign and the American Academy of Pediatrics. Airway obstruction is the leading cause of accident related death in children under the age of 1 in the United States. In 1996, The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reported that toy-related injuries led to 13 deaths and more than 140,000 hospital emergency room visits...for hazards that could be prevented. The KIDPROTEQ® was created by a grandmother who cares! Use The KIDPROTEQ® to protect your child from choking on toys and small parts. If a toy or any part of a toy or product fits into The KIDPROTEQ® tube (including any part that separates or can break off during use) then this item is a choking hazard and unsafe for children under the age of 3. The KIDPROTEQ® complies with safety guidelines set forth by the 1994 Child Safety Protection Act. A great tool for parents, grandparents, teachers and other caregivers.
