When parents think about choking risks, food comes to mind first. Grapes, hot dogs, hard candy, and popcorn get most of the attention in pediatrician offices and safety pamphlets.

Balloons, coins, small toy parts, magnets, button batteries, and household items pulled from between couch cushions cause a disproportionate share of pediatric choking deaths, and they cause them in circumstances most parents would not have anticipated. Families in Boston, throughout Massachusetts, and across the surrounding New England states should understand both the medical reality of non-food choking incidents and the legal options available when a child is harmed, especially when a defective toy, an inadequate warning, or a negligent caregiver played a role.
