Bottle caps are a choking risk for little ones. How we check

An elf doll and a teddy bear facing each other on a table, each with a wrapped candy cane tucked under one arm like a hockey stick, a bottle cap puck between them.

Note from your elf: Elf 3, Teddy 2. Your turn: grab a spoon and score on Teddy!
