Santa, Don't brig kids these toys: Pediatricians warn of items that present risk of choking, injuries in children

As you stare at that long list of toys your little one wants for Christmas, be aware there are some things kids shouldn't receive this holiday, no matter how much they want it.

In 2023, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission released its report on deaths and injuries related to toys, and found there were approximately 231,700 emergency room visits, mostly affecting children. Just last year, at least 10 children under 14 died in toy-related incidents.

No toy is 100 percent safe, but some carry more danger than others. Doctors who work in emergency medicine, particularly with children, listed their top toys that shouldn't be under the Christmas tree this year.

Button or coin batteries: Many modern toys use small, disk-shaped batteries or lithium coin batteries to power them.
