Lawn darts. Remember those? Doing the best you can to get out of the way of a bad throw, and if you didn’t get out of the way? Well, you were off to the emergency room! And thank goodness, the days of lawn darts are over, but there are still plenty of dangerous toys you can give your kids for Christmas.
A study looked at how many injuries different types of toys have caused over the last five years, and there’s a clear winner.
Scooters. Scooters have caused over 190,000 injuries since 2016. (Oh, and that includes injuries to BOTH kids and adults!)
Balls are next at 108,000 injuries. (Remember Marsha on the Brady Bunch!) That includes footballs, baseballs, and every other type of ball.
Toy cars like Hot Wheels are next, followed by building sets that come with small pieces. So choking hazards and things kids can swallow are part of it.
Frisbees and boomerangs came in at 5th on the list, and yes, there’s more than that!
