 | Parents should check their garage doors each and
every month, as it can easily go out of alignment. One suggestion made was to use a
new roll of paper towels to check whether the door will automatically open within 2
seconds if it comes in contact with something. If it does not automatically go back
up within 2 seconds, an innocent child can easily be injured or killed. The
statistics on children killed by garage doors with automatic openers is startling!
In addition, if a keypad is used, it should be at least 6 feet from the ground.

| NEVER leave a child in a locked car
alone. Result can be tragic, especially in hot weather!
|
| To determine whether a small child could swallow a
toy, simply use a toilet paper tube. If an article can slip inside of the tube, then
it could also get caught in a child's throat.
|
| If you have any window blinds in your home, the cord
can easily strangle a child. The suggestion made is to simply cut the loop off the
end of the cord to fix the potential problem. New window blinds will have 2 strings
to eliminate this problem.
