Burns

Your little adventurer may take you by surprise and risk being exposed to burns, either by approaching the oven and domestic heating appliances or by touching hot utensils. 

Drowning

Your baby is exposed to the risk of drowning in the bathtub, or the swimming pool in the backyard, and you should not leave him unsupervised, even for one minute. 

Poisoning

Your baby’s usual curiosity and his desire to discover things by tasting them may expose him to the risk of poisoning as a result of swallowing harmful materials or noxious drugs. 

Choking

Your baby may be subjected to all kind of choking and asphyxiation, whether by sleeping on a soft mattress that obstructs breathing, by not being able to swallow specific types of food,by swallowing small pieces or parts of old toys that may have fallen by mistake, or by having curtains or phone wires wraparound his little neck.
