Grapes are dangerous for young children, as they can choke to death when eating the entire grape berries. There have already been three choking cases in Scotland, out of which two turned out to be fatal, involving boys who were 5 or younger.
Report On Young Children Choking With Grapes
A report published in the journal Archives of Disease in Childhood notes that food is responsible for more than half of the choking incidents which end in deaths when it comes to children under the age of 5. A child who was 5 choked because of eating whole grapes at an after-school club. While the first-aid workers tried to dislodge the grape, the child went into cardiac arrest. Despite the paramedics' efforts and the special equipment, the boy couldn't make it.
