Number 1 Bouncy Houses
The number of children getting hurt on inflatable bouncy houses is rising steadily. A 2012 report in the journal Pediatrics estimated that nearly 65,000 children were treated in U.S. emergency rooms for bouncy-house-related injuries between 1990 and 2010.
More than half of these injuries were in children ages 6 to 12, and more than one-third of the injuries were in children under age 5. Most injuries were caused by falling and involved fractures or sprains, usually to the arms and legs.
"We're not saying children shouldn't use them, because we want kids to have an active lifestyle,". However, adult supervision is needed to minimize collisions and discourage high-risk moves, such as flips.
Number 2 TV and Furniture
Young children climb onto dressers, bookcases or storage cabinets in an attempt to reach a toy or TV set, sometimes, with fatal results. These heavy items can topple over, fall onto a child and pin someone underneath, injuring, or even killing, a youngster.
A report released last year by the CPSC found that 349 Americans, 84 percent of whom were children younger than age 9, were killed between 2000 and 2011 when TV furniture or appliances tipped over onto them.
The study also estimated that more than 25,000 children are hurt every year from these tip-overs.
Smith said TVs account for half of the injuries resulting from fallen furniture. He suspects these injuries are on the rise because more families are buying lighter, flat-screen TVs, and then moving their older, heavier televisions into rooms without an appropriate TV stand or anchoring device to stabilize the set's weight and size.
Number 3 Shopping Carts
Junk food may not be the only danger lurking in the grocery aisle: The American Academy of Pediatrics reports that shopping-cart injuries send more than 23,000 children a year to the emergency room.
Shopping-cart injuries usually result from falls to hard surfaces, or when a cart flips over, causing head and neck injuries, or broken bones.
"The problem is, shopping carts were never designed to safely transport children; they were designed to transport groceries
Number 4 Playground Slides
It may seem safe for a toddler to sit on an adult’s lap while going down a slide. But parents sliding down with children may do more harm than good. In fact, doing so can increase a child’s chances of winding up in the emergency room with a broken leg, doctors say.
When coasting down on a parent's lap, a child's rubber-soled shoe might get caught on the sides of a curvy slide or on its plastic surface, making it hard to free the foot because of the extra momentum from an adult's weight. Parents could also fall on top of a small child after sliding down.
Number 5 Magnets
Magnets have long been a choking hazard to children. Smith said a newer concern involves high-powered, rare-earth magnets, which pose a special risk to kids.
Found in adult desk toys marketed as stress relievers and sold as Buckyballs and Zen Magnets, these tiny, ball-shaped magnets can be accidentally swallowed by children or teens while playing with them or pretending they are tongue or lip piercings.
Swallowing two or more of them is dangerous because the magnets can attract each other while within the intestines, causing obstructions, tissue damage and even death.
Since 2008, the US. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has received more than 200 reports of these magnetic balls being swallowed by children, some of whom needed emergency surgery to remove the balls and prevent life-threatening injuries.
