Abstract

Toy latex balloons are one of the leading causes of pediatric choking deaths from children's products. Education programs through community outreach are an effective way to alert professionals and parents about the risks associated with the use of latex balloons. Nurses, in a collective action, can play a major role in educating the public on balloon safety awareness.
