ATVs are powerful vehicles, not toys. W.A.T.C.H. warns even youth ATVs can roll, crash, overheat or reach speeds beyond a child’s control. Children can also be seriously injured as passengers on adult ATVs. toysafety.org
Towable tubes may look like classic summer fun, but the risks can be serious. W.A.T.C.H. urges families to keep speeds conservative, avoid crowded or hazardous areas, and use properly fitted U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets. toysafety.org.
E-bikes and e-scooters are motorized vehicles, not toys. W.A.T.C.H. warns they can pose serious risks, including crashes, head trauma, burns, battery fires and death. Families should weigh the risks, use helmets and know local laws. toysafety.org.
HIDDEN WATER HAZARDS: Backyard water risks don’t have to look like a pool. Even shallow water in kiddie pools, buckets, coolers, water tables or sagging pool covers can pose drowning risks. W.A.T.C.H. urges families to empty, secure and block access. toysafety.org
Trampolines and bounce houses may be summer staples, but popularity does not equal safety. W.A.T.C.H. warns they can cause serious injuries, from broken bones to head trauma, especially when wind turns inflatables into airborne hazards. toysafety.org.
Floating is not the same as safety. Swim floats, rings and other inflatables can flip, deflate, drift, trap a child or block an adult’s view. W.A.T.C.H. urges families to keep children within arm’s reach near water. More tips: toysafety.org.
SMALL BEADS, BIG RISKS: Gel beads used in blasters can be hard to spot outdoors, but young children may find them later. If swallowed, inhaled or inserted into the nose or ear, they can expand and cause serious injuries. W.A.T.C.H. urges caution. toysafety.org
Playground surfaces can become dangerously hot even when weather doesn’t feel extreme. W.A.T.C.H. reminds families to check slides, swings and surfaces before kids play, and watch for hazards like helmet straps catching on equipment. More tips: toysafety.org.
This Memorial Day, W.A.T.C.H. honors and remembers those who lost their lives in service to our country.
May is National Water Safety Month — a reminder that drowning can happen quickly and quietly. W.A.T.C.H. urges families to use close supervision, barriers, alarms, self-closing gates and swim safety awareness to help reduce risk. More tips: toysafety.org
BACKYARD WATER SAFETY ALERT: Removing an above-ground pool ladder may not be enough. Exterior straps or nearby objects can create hidden footholds for toddlers. W.A.T.C.H. urges families to check recalls, inspect pools and use layers of protection. toysafety.org
Memorial Day weekend kicks off summer fun — and the “100 Deadliest Days” for children, when preventable injuries can rise as routines shift. A little extra awareness can help keep kids safer. Visit toysafety.org for W.A.T.C.H.’s “10 Summer Safety Traps.”
W.A.T.C.H. OUT! Reusable water balloons may seem like harmless summer fun, but some use small magnets that can pose serious risks if detached and swallowed. Check for recalled or unsafe products before kids play. More tips: toysafety.org
