Why, you ask? Because parents didn't keep them out of their children's hands(and mouth and other places)

Let’s ponder what could be banned next:

Balloons. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, the defining birthday party decoration kills more children than anything besides bicycles.

I HAD to look that up, I mean, balloons kill more children than ANYTHING besides bikes?

STATS: Choking on hot dog data: Has pediatricians’ group gone wild?

Latex balloons were the leading cause of choking deaths among children aged 14 or under (29 percent), according to Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) data cited. Hot dogs, the academy claims, accounted for 17 percent of “food-related asphyxiations.” This was based on a different data set compiled between 1979 and 1981, and published in 1984 in the Journal of the American Medical Association (“Childhood Asphyxiation by Food: A National Analysis and Overview” Harris et al).
