Abstract

Foreign body ingestion by paediatric patients is a common problem in medical practice. This article aims to analyse the clinical picture, the aetiology and to comment on the legal liability that the caregiver or the manufacturer may incur in such cases. The presented data come from a 3-year period from a medical centre in Kielce and were analysed retrospectively. The study involved 75 children. Educating caregivers to pay more attention to where they place dangerous objects or to buying toys consisting of small parts may contribute to the reduction of the percentage of patients with the described issues.
