Ban the sale of helium balloons

Summary

I'm calling for the sales on helium balloons to be banned. April 2024 we tragically lost our son Joshua on his 8th birthday, due to him unintentionally inhaling helium from his birthday balloon. These balloons are not required to come with warnings and can be a silent killer. I believe changing the law could save lives. I believe had there been regulations and awareness raised on the dangers of these balloons my son's death may have possibly been prevented. I ask for a ban after my son’s death, to prevent another child losing their life due to a tragedy that could be prevented with a ban on sales. I call for Parliament to take immediate action and prevent further deaths happening. One life taken is one too many.
