Child safety experts have urged parents to be wary of small toy pieces such as Lego blocks and magnetic construction parts, saying kids older than three still face choking and infection risks.
The warning comes as a five-year-old boy remains in a critical but stable condition in hospital after inhaling a Lego piece on the Gold Coast last night.
It also follows a study that found 105 children had presented at Queensland emergency departments with injuries from magnets between 1999 and 2009 – most of whom were more than three years old.
KidSafe Queensland executive officer Susan Teerds said parents of young children should continually reinforce the risk of swallowing small objects in the same way they would if the child had allergies or required gluten-free food.
Ms Teerds said children under three should not have access to objects that would fit through the inside of a toilet roll, such as Lego.

# If you don’t respond to a lot of requests from friends, don’t send many either – you don’t want to seem like a hypocrite.
# Consider quitting Facebook and state that you are too addicted. True friends will understand.
# Each invitation to install an application (e.g. to accept a gift, to recognize someone’s selection of you as their BFF, etc) includes an option to ignore all requests from the application in question. Clicking this will suppress those really obnoxious and/or annoying requests.
# Also avoid note surveys/quizzes- they are addicting, and waste your time. Not to mention that your friends will start to get annoyed after being tagged in 10 different surveys every day.

- Consider why you’re doing it, if it’s you starting it. Is it
out of boredom, or just simply because you have a grievance to repay?
Remember, if you pick fights online, you’re more likely to say
something you regret. Humans find courage in computer screens. And
often times the tone of the message can’t be seen through the screen.
- Change the subject. If someone else says something that could
cause a potential fight, try to change the subject or politely tell
them that what they said bothers you
- If it’s the same person every time, block them or delete them from your friends list

Yesterday, his chosen spot for wallowing in his own magnificence was the Penrith RSL Club, where Opposition Leader Tony Abbott had come to launch his veterans’ affairs policy. Hardly had Abbott finished announcing that a Coalition government would index veterans’ pensions and supply free pharmaceuticals to the most disabled than Latham, in his acquired guise of 60 Minutes reporter, strode in.
