Mobile Phones and Children

Is a non- working mobile phone a safe toddler toy?

Make sure that you take out the memory card. If the child figures out how to pop it out, he/she could swallow it. Also, look for anything else on the side of the phone that might be unsafe. Some phones have a little rubber piece that covers up the slot where the charger goes. It's really tiny, and a toddler or baby can easily pull if off. So I would suggest ripping it off before you give it to your child. Also, mobile phones are teeming with germs. In swab tests, mobile phones have more germs on them than almost any other ordinary item.
