Assistant Professor Megan Cobb, MD, DPT, recently advised Maryland families on the safest toys to gift children during the holiday season. On Baltimore’s Fox affiliate, Fox 45 Morning News, Dr. Cobb joined a colleague to discuss toys that pose a risk to children, including recalled toys sold off-market, technology-based toys that violate children’s privacy, and small toys that children could inadvertently confuse with candy.

“Things that are fun can also be dangerous,” Dr. Cobb warned watchers in the segment, encouraging parents to closely observe children in day-to-day play.
