5 hidden weapons in the home that endanger the safety of children!

Statistics from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission show that 33.1 million people are injured by household products in the United States each year. What exactly are the threats to safety “hidden weapons” hidden in the home? And how to avoid injury? Hidden weapon one: magnets Magnets are widely used in toys, building materials and jewelry, when children accidentally swallow two or more magnets, or a magnet and a metal object were swallowed separately, they may be attracted to each other through the intestinal wall and then stay in the body, stirring or distorting the large intestine, thus causing intestinal perforation, blockage, infection, and even death. Therefore, try to keep children away from products containing magnets and avoid accidental ingestion by children. Concealed weapon two: recall products When monitoring dangerous products, the relevant state departments will require them to be removed from the shelves, issued information to recall dangerous toys, clothes, electronic products, etc.. However, many families are not well-informed and often lead the wolf into the house without knowing it. Therefore, families are reminded to pay close attention to the information on substandard products and recalled products, and to return or destroy such products immediately. Concealed weapon three: easy to overturn items placed on top of the furniture toys, remote controls, etc., often easy to cause children’s desire to climb, and when children climb or pull down the TV, shelves, bookcases and other furniture, these heavy objects are likely to overturn and hit children’s heads. Therefore, be sure to confirm that the furniture is placed very solid, but also the furniture can be fixed on the floor or wall with hooks and so on. Concealed weapon four: windows and coverings If the cords at the end of the curtains form a loop, they may tie the child’s neck causing suffocation. Therefore, it is best to use cordless curtains or make the cord out of reach of small children, and try to avoid the cord hitting the ring. In addition, remember never to put the crib by the window, and do not trust the window grille completely, the window grille is used to block what comes in from the outside, but not to stop the child from climbing out of the window. Concealed weapon five: the bathtub filled with water, if the drain plug loose fall, the suction of the bath drain can be strong enough to suck an adult underwater to cause drowning, let alone children. So, each time you use the bath, check and make sure the plug at the drain is intact and plugged the drain hole. Avoiding these safety accidents does not require any investment, and many fatal accidents and major injuries can actually be avoided if families have a clear understanding of these five risks.
