A member asked:

Car glass is broken into many pieces in the car. i can vacuum but worry if the remaining dust/particles could harm my newborn if he rubs it into eyes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: Unlikely for remaining dust/particles to be a factor. Important to clean car glass as much as possible to limit risk of visible parts causing cutting injury.
