医生称 2023 年最危险的玩具

当您盯着孩子想要的一长串圣诞节玩具时，请注意有些东西是孩子们在这个假期不应该收到的，无论他们多么想要它们。

As you gaze upon that sprawling list of toys your tot desires for Christmas, know there are some items kids shouldn’t receive this holiday, no matter the level of their pleas.

当你凝视着孩子想要的圣诞玩具清单时，要知道有些物品是孩子们在这个假期不应该收到的，无论他们的请求有多大。

In 2023, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission unveiled its report on deaths and injuries related to toys, revealing there were roughly 231,700 emergency department visits, mainly concerning children. Last year alone, at least 10 children under 14 perished in toy-related incidents.

2023年，美国消费品安全委员会公布了与玩具相关的死亡和伤害报告，显示大约有231,700人次到急诊室就诊，其中主要涉及儿童。仅去年一年，就至少有 10 名 14 岁以下儿童在玩具相关事件中丧生。

While no toy can guarantee complete safety, some inherently carry more danger than others. Doctors specializing in emergency medicine, especially with children, shared their top picks for toys that shouldn’t wind up beneath the Christmas tree this year.

虽然没有任何玩具可以保证完全安全，但有些玩具本质上比其他玩具具有更多的危险。专门从事急诊医学（尤其是儿童急诊医学）的医生分享了他们今年不应该出现在圣诞树下的玩具的首选。

Button or coin batteries

纽扣或硬币电池

A multitude of contemporary toys utilize small, disk-shaped batteries or lithium coin batteries to operate.

许多现代玩具使用小型盘形电池或锂纽扣电池来操作。

These batteries pose a choking hazard and can inflict life-threatening injuries within the esophagus and gastrointestinal tract, pediatricians explained to Today.com, among them being pediatric surgeon Dr. Shawn Stafford, who deemed these batteries “very dangerous.”

儿科医生（其中包括儿科外科医生肖恩·斯塔福德博士）向 Today.com 解释说，这些电池会造成窒息危险，并可能在食道和胃肠道内造成危及生命的伤害，他认为这些电池“非常危险”。

E-scooters and hoverboards

电动滑板车和悬浮滑板

Each holiday season, we're graced with social media videos showcasing families embarking on clumsy first encounters with new e-scooters or hoverboards. These videos elicit laughter, yet the reality can be far more perilous.

每个假期，我们都会看到社交媒体视频，展示家庭首次笨拙地接触新电动滑板车或悬浮滑板的情况。这些视频引人发笑，但现实可能要危险得多。

Pediatric emergency physician Dr. Meghan Martin disclosed to Today.com that she has treated numerous children for injuries sustained from these devices, even attending to seven hoverboard injuries on a single Christmas morning.

儿科急诊医生梅根·马丁博士向 Today.com 透露，她已经治疗了许多因这些设备而受伤的儿童，甚至在一个圣诞节早上就治疗了 7 名悬浮滑板受伤的孩子。

If you insist on purchasing one of these for a family member, ensure they utilize the proper safety gear, including a helmet, elbow and knee pads, and wrist guards.

如果您坚持为家庭成员购买其中一件，请确保他们使用适当的安全装备，包括头盔、护肘和护膝以及护腕。

Toys with small parts

有小零件的玩具

For parents of young children, especially those under 5, avoiding toys with small parts is paramount.

对于幼儿（尤其是 5 岁以下儿童）的父母来说，避免使用带有小部件的玩具至关重要。

According to the CPSC, half of all toy-related deaths in children last year stemmed from choking or asphyxiation after ingesting a small part.

据美国消费品安全委员会称，去年与玩具相关的儿童死亡中有一半是由于误食一小部分而导致窒息或窒息。

“One thing I tell parents is never give a child 3 years or younger anything that is smaller or fits through a toilet roll tube,” Saffordsaid.

萨福德说：“我告诉父母的一件事是，永远不要给 3 岁或以下的孩子任何更小的或适合卫生纸卷管的东西。”

Trampolines

蹦床

Trampolines offer a thrilling addition to any backyard, but they also come bearing the promise of potential injuries.

蹦床为任何后院增添了刺激的乐趣，但它们也可能带来潜在的伤害。

“We see a lot of forearm injuries, leg injuries and other injuries,” Martinsaid, adding that these include broken bones, sprains, lacerations, concussions and spinal cord injuries.

马丁说：“我们看到很多前臂受伤、腿部受伤和其他伤害。”他补充说，这些伤害包括骨折、扭伤、撕裂伤、脑震荡和脊髓损伤。

If a trampoline features in your gifting plans this year, prioritize one enclosed in a safety net or consider an in-ground version. Whichever route you take, ensure a parent closely supervises and monitors the number of simultaneous users.

如果今年你的礼物计划中有蹦床，请优先考虑将其放在安全网中或考虑地下版本。无论您采取哪种方式，请确保家长密切监督和监控同时用户的数量。

Knockoffs

仿冒品

Christmas can be financially demanding, making it challenging to acquire name-brand versions of every toy on your child’s wishlist. However, in your search for alternatives, be wary of knockoffs that fail to meet safety standards.

圣诞节对经济的要求可能很高，因此很难为孩子购买愿望清单上的每个玩具的名牌版本。然而，在寻找替代品时，请警惕不符合安全标准的仿制品。

According to Today, toys that have successfully met federal safety standards will bear a small "ASTM" designation somewhere on their packaging or box. ASTM stands for American Society of Testing and Materials.

据《Today》报道，成功满足联邦安全标准的玩具将在其包装或盒子上标有一个小的“ASTM”标志。 ASTM 代表美国测试与材料协会。

When purchasing toys online, exercise extra vigilance to avoid bringing toys into your home that contain lead paint, toxic chemicals or an excessive number of loose parts.

在网上购买玩具时，要格外警惕，避免将含有含铅油漆、有毒化学物质或过多松动部件的玩具带入家中。
