Warning labels According to a 1991 study, warning labels are an effective preventive measure against<unk>  accidents. Items that contain many parts may include pieces that are considered<unk>  hazards. Labels may state recommended age ranges (as in the case of children's toys) and warnings to parents to keep certain items out of the reach of children. Warning labels are clearly placed and written, usually including an obvious image. Primary prevention<unk>  often happens when large or abundant mouthfuls of food are poorly chewed and swallowed. This risk is minimized by cutting food into moderately sized pieces and chewing them completely before swallowing. Any food that may be chewed would have to be chewed (even the gelatinous food). It is helpful to have some liquid available to drink to make swallowing easier. To swallow well, it is recommended that the neck be in a normal position, with the head looking forward and aligned with the eater's body, and that the eater be seated or standing rather than reclining. Some activities are not very compatible with eating (such as laughing), so eating at the same time increases the risk of<unk> . Food eaten by the handful (such as popcorn or nuts) requires chewing with more control than normal. Dangerous foods The foods that produce the worst cases of<unk>  are those whose shapes adapt to the shape of the pharynx or trachea (such as hot dogs, sausages, bananas and food in blocks). In 2002, candy containing konjac gel was banned by the Food and Drug Administration due to several high-profile<unk>  cases. Other foods are risky because they are dry in the mouth (overcooked meat, sponge cake, cold pizza), which may require drinking liquid, or eating them with purees or sauces. Tough foods are also risky (octopus, cuttlefish, reptiles or big animals), so it is recommended cutting them into smaller chunks or thinner slices,<unk>  them in a way that softens them, or even eating them together with something that helps the teeth to grind them (like hard bread). It is also easier to choke when eating too fast, which can usually happen in contests, games and celebrations (New Years Eve), etc. Groups at risk Some population groups have a higher<unk>  risk, such as the elderly, children, persons with disabilities (physically or mentally), people under the effects of alcohol or drugs, people who have taken medications that reduce the ability to salivate or react, patients with difficulties in swallowing (dysphagia), suicidal individuals, epileptics, and people on the autism spectrum. They may require more assistance to feed themselves, and it may be necessary to supervise them while they eat. People who are unable to chew properly should not be served hard food. In cases where a person is unable to safely eat, food can be given by feeding syringes. People who have taken any medication that reduces saliva should not eat solid food until their salivation is restored. Prevention in babies and children All young children require care in eating, and they must learn to chew their food completely to avoid<unk> . Feeding them while they are running, playing, laughing, etc. increases the risk of<unk> . Caregivers must supervise children while eating or playing. Pediatricians and dentists can provide information on various age groups to parents and caregivers about what food and toys are appropriate to prevent<unk> . The American Academy of Pediatricians recommends waiting until 6 months of age before introducing solid foods to infants. Caregivers should avoid giving children younger than 5 years old foods that pose a high risk of<unk> , such as hot dog pieces, bananas, cheese sticks, cheese chunks, hard candy, nuts, grapes, marshmallows, or popcorn. Later, when they are accustomed to these foods, it is recommended to serve them split into small pieces. Some foods as hot dogs, bananas, or grapes are usually split lengthwise, sliced, or both. Parents, teachers, and other caregivers for children are advised to be trained in<unk>  first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Children readily put small objects into their mouths (deflated balloons, marbles, small pieces, buttons, coins, button batteries, etc.), which can lead to<unk> . A complicated obstruction for babies is<unk>  on deflated balloons (including preservatives) or plastic bags. This also includes the nappy sacks, used for wrapping the dirty diapers, which are sometimes dangerously placed near the babies. To prevent children from swallowing things, precautions should be taken in the environment to keep dangerous objects out of their reach. Small children must be supervised closely and taught to avoid putting things into their mouths. Toys and games may indicate on their packages the ages for which they are safe. In the US, children's toy and product manufacturers are required by law to apply appropriate warning labels to their packaging, but toys that are resold may not have them. Caregivers can try to prevent<unk>  by considering the features of a toy (such as size, shape, consistency and small parts) before giving it to a child. Children's products that are found to pose a<unk>  risk can be taken off the market.
