COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 29 (UPI) -- Hard candy followed by other candy are leading causes of choking in children, U.S. researchers say.
Meyli M. Chapina of the Center for Injury Research and Policy, The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, said colleagues investigated non-fatal pediatric food choking-related emergency department visits from 2001-09 using data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System-All Injury Program.
