It seems that the hot dog is a deadly choking hazard so far as the American Academy of Pediatrics is concerned and wants the legendary fast food redesigned. However, hot dogs a re just one offender among many. Other potentially deadly foods include hard candy, nuts, grapes, popcorn, marshmallows, peanut butter, chewing gum and raw carrots. In other words whatever a child can put into its mouth is considered a choking hazard. The solution - put warning labels on all of these products. Either that or feed children a 100% liquid diet.
