Keeping Kids Safe at Home
6/11/2009
More than 18,000 emergency room visits a year are made by Canadian children who have been injured by common household products. To an adult, a chest of drawers is a storage device, but to a child, it can become a staircase to climb – causing the whole chest to tip over. A pull string on a window blind can act like a noose around a child's neck.
A survey by Safe Kids Canada, a national program of Toronto's The Hospital for Sick Children, says that 86 per cent of Canadians assume that the household products they buy are safe for the family to use. But this isn't always the case, says Safe Kids.
