The Consumer Product Safety Commission keeps statistics of child related deaths and injuries from unsafe products. According to the CPSC 79% of injuries were to children under 15 years of age, and 45% were to children under age 5. The CPSC urges gift-givers to keep saftey in mind when choosing toys for young children. The commission requires labels to be on all toys marketed for children from 3 years old up to 6 years old if the toys pose a choking hazard to children under 3. The labels tell consumers that a toy is not safe for young children and why it is not safe.
