Consumer Product Safety Commission:

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of serious injury or death from thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. The CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical, or mechanical hazard or can injure children. The CPSC's work to ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters, and household chemicals - contributed significantly to the 30 percent decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 30 years.

Safety Tips:

Airway Obstruction Safety:

• Always watch children when they are eating or playing.

• If a child is under 3, don't let him or her eat small, round or hard food.

• Read any warnings on toys or games. Look for small parts that can choke children.

• Babies should be put to sleep on their backs.

• Keep soft things out of the place where an infant sleeps.

• Check floors and low places for small objects like buttons, beads, marbles, coins, pins and stones.

• Put all plastic wrappings or bags where children can't reach them.

Falls Safety:

• Keep chairs, cribs and other furniture away from windows.

• Don't leave a baby alone on a changing table, bed, couch or other furniture. Keep one hand on the baby while changing diapers.

• Always strap a baby into a high chair, swing, changing table or strollers.

• Get rid of hazards in the home like folded carpets, electric wires or cords on the floor, and unlit stairways.

• Teach children to use playgrounds or playing fields with rubber, wood, mulch or sand surfaces. Grass and dirt are not as good at preventing serious injuries. Avoid asphalt.

• Use safety gates or other barriers at the top and bottom of stairs.

Fire and Burns Safety:

• Do not leave children alone around open flames, stoves or candles.

• Keep matches, gasoline, lighters and other flammable materials out of children's reach.

• Teach children a plan for escaping your home in a fire and practice it.

• Install smoke alarms in your home on every level and in every sleeping area.
  

  • Test them once a month.
    

  • Replace the batteries once a year.
    

  • Replace alarms every 10 years.

• Before bathing children in heated water, always run your open hand through the water to check its temperature.

• Keep hot foods and liquids away from table and counter edges. Never carry children and hot foods or liquids at the same time.

• Keep things that easily catch fire (such as papers) away from heat sources like stoves, heaters and fireplaces.

Poisoning Safety:

• Read labels and find out which household products or plants are poisonous. If you are not sure about something, keep it where children can't reach it.

• Lock up poisons and medicines out of sight and reach of children.

• Don't take medicine in front of children. They might try to copy you.

• Never leave potentially poisonous household products unattended while you are using them.

• Throw away old medicines and cleaning products.

Water and Drowning Safety:

• Always watch children near water. Don't leave, even for a moment.

• Use a barrier like a fence to keep children away from pools or other bodies of water.

• Empty and turn over all water containers after you use them.

• Teach children to swim when they're ready, usually after age 4.

• Teach children to never run, push or jump on others around water.

• Teach children never to swim alone.
