📈 FACT ~ 300 children admitted to hospital ‼️

How safe is your child?
Please check that magnets are not accessible to little ones in your home, talk to older children about the dangers of magnets (ie magnetic jewellery).


Around 300 youngsters were admitted to A&E in a single year after swallowing magnets – with one in ten requiring life-saving operations.

It’s a common after school scene: School bags and pe kits slung over a banister, hung from a door handle or thrown on the floor as children rush in after a busy day.

But did you know that drawstring bags can be a strangulation risk?

Curious toddlers are especially vulnerable because their heads weigh proportionately more than their bodies compared to adults and their muscle control isn’t fully developed, which makes it harder for them to free themselves if they get tangled up.

Plus, their windpipes are smaller and less rigid than those of adults and older children. This means they suffocate far more quickly when their necks are constricted.

So, if you have little ones at home please keep drawstring bags out of their reach.

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) - always follow The Lullaby Trust for safer sleep guidance.
Lots of products may look cute, soft and snuggly BUT could put your baby at risk of harm.

Baby sleeping bags with hoods, or those without arm openings, do not meet UK safety standards and are not permitted to be sold here. They can cause babies to suffocate, overheat or die.

Yet far too many are available to buy online.

In fact, a new investigation by Which? found many dangerous baby sleeping bags, similar or identical to products that have been officially recalled for suffocation risks, for sale online.

So, please shop safely.

Sleep bags should be well-fitted, (think neck and arm holes that fit well) so that your baby can’t wriggle down inside.

Plus, any sleep bags with hoods or head coverings should be avoided.
