CPSC guidelines warn parents and other gift-givers to stay away from toys and other items that fall in five categories: riding toys, small balls and toys with small parts, balloons, playthings with small magnets, and battery chargers and adapters.
The CPSC attributes the majority of kids' deaths to be "the result of airway obstructions caused by swallowing small toys, drownings that resulted from children falling into swimming pools while riding on toys, and injuries after being struck by motor vehicles while riding toys." According to the CPSC's own estimates, "170,100 children under the age of 15 were treated in emergency rooms for toy-related injuries," in 2007, and "there were 232,900 toy-related injuries among all ages."
