Another step that parents and caregivers can take to ensure safe play is to properly maintain toys. Even the most well-made toys can suffer minor damage in play. Check toys regularly for cracks, tears, sharp edges, small parts, loose buttons, dirt, etc. Remind children to let you know when toys need repair. Often, a spot of glue, a tightened bolt or a bit of tape will prevent further damage and a possible injury.
Never allow toys to remain outdoors overnight. Rain, snow and dew cause rust damage that increases the risk of injuries.
A toy damaged beyond repair should be discarded in an inaccessible manner or replaced promptly.
