Why Are Mini Eggs A Big Safety Risk?

With Easter approaching the Child Accident Prevention Trust (CAPT) are taking this opportunity to highlight to parents/carers that mini eggs can pose a big safety risk to very young children.

Mini eggs (of any brand) are the perfect size and shape to completely block a small child’s airway and choke them. And, their hard shell can make it difficult to dislodge with standard first aid techniques. That’s why they aren’t recommended for small children. So, please stay safe and choose another treat for your little one this Easter. Larger, hollow eggs are much safer. Click here to find out more about how to keep children safe from choking.
