Products posing the most risk include hot dogs, sausages, candies, gum, grapes, apples, carrots, marshmallows, popcorn, raisins, cheese cubes, peanut butter, and nuts.

"A simple notice instructing a parent to chop food into small pieces or refrain from serving certain foods to young children could save many kids’ lives," said Bruce Silverglade, director of legal affairs for CSPI.
