We hypothesized that the proportion of severe injuries would be highest in the younger than 3-year and 3- to 5-year age groups.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>We analyzed injury patterns from plush toys, toy figurines, and doll and toy accessories for ages of 0 to 18 years from 2010 to 2018 using the Consumer Product Safety Commission National Electronic Injury Surveillance System. Exclusion criteria included unspecified toy categories, adult or pet involvement, or unspecified disposition. National estimates were calculated with National Electronic Injury Surveillance System sample weights. Outcome of interest was severe injury proportions per age and toy category. Severe injury was defined as life- or limb-threatening injuries or injuries requiring admission. \u03c7<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> test was used to analyze the distribution of categorical variables.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>We analyzed 1360 injuries. The majority occurred in female (n = 771, 56.7%) and ages of 3 to 5 years (n = 580, 42.7%). Annual injury frequency remained stable. One fifth of injuries were severe (n = 321, 23.6%), with a national estimate of 9304.7. The majority of both total (n = 778, 57.2%) and severe injuries (n = 182, 56.7%) resulted from toy figurines. Life-threatening injury secondary to foreign body aspiration or ingestion with a risk for asphyxiation was the most common severe injury. Severe injuries were significantly more common in the younger than 3-year group (odds ratio, 3.59; 95% confidence interval, 2.40\u20135.36) and 3- to 5-year age group (odds ratio, 2.97; 95% confidence interval, 2.01\u20134.39) than the older than 5-year age group.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Injury frequency remained stable.
