These warning labels could include anything from lead content in painted toys, choking hazards from small parts, or potential injuries from sharp objects.

Her parents, like the majority of the general public, had no idea that popcorn was unsafe for their 2 year-old.<\/p>\n<p>In an effort to increase awareness and prevent the recurrence of episodes like the one described, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aap.org\/\">American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)<\/a> is advocating for food warning labels.  The AAP, based out of Elk Grove Village, Illinois, is one of the nation&#8217;s leading pediatric groups.  It is lobbying for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fda.gov\/\">Food and Drug Administration (FDA)<\/a> to require warning labels on foods that are known choking hazards.<\/p>\n<p>According to a 2008 study, the ten foods that pose the highest choking hazards for young children are hot dogs, peanuts, carrots, boned chicken, candy, meat, popcorn, fish with bones, sunflower seeds and apples.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.robertkreisman.com\/medical-malpractice-lawyer\/doctors_urge_warning_labeling\/#more-327\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether or not you have children, most people are familiar with warning labels on children&#8217;s toys.
