Prolonged exposure to high levels of lead presents a poisoning hazard to young children.

After Recent Death, CPSC Warns Against Wearing Bike Helmets on Playgrounds After the strangulation death of a 3-year old Pennsylvania boy, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) warns that children should not wear bike helmets when playing on playground equipment. The boy died February 4 when his bicycle helmet became wedged as he apparently tried to slide through a small opening on the playground equipment near his home. CPSC is aware of a second strangulation death that occurred in 1997 when a 7-year old girl in Canada became entrapped in an opening on a playground structure. Both victims were wearing a bicycle helmet during play and died due to hanging from the helmet strap. CPSC, Coast Guard and Trojan Battery Co.
