Parents are warned to be extra careful with their children after a young child in Cuba swallowed the spring from a clothespin. The boy is on the road to recovery after successful surgery.
The child was brought to the hospital with "severe breathing difficulties," said the agency. A child's trachea is about the size of a drinking straw. Christine Rousselle is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
His mother said he swallowed the spring while she was hanging clothes to dry in her garden.
