1 FAMILY SAFESAFE Keeping your home hazard-free Consumer Product Safety Commission Top Four Issues

2 CPSC Top 4 Issues #1: Magnets More than 8 million magnetic toys recalled. Magnets fall out of toys, building sets, and jewelry; children swallow them. When swallowed, two or more magnets can get trapped in place. Trapped magnets can twist or pinch the intestines, causing holes, blockages, infection, and death.

3 CPSC Top 4 Issues #2: Recalled Products 400 separate product recalls each year. CPSC gets dangerous products off store shelves, but you must watch out for products you have already bought: recalled toys, clothing, children's jewelry, tools, appliances, electronics and electrical products.

4 CPSC Top 4 Issues #3: Tip-Overs Average of 22 deaths per year, 3,000 injuries. Furniture, TVs and ranges can tip over and crush young children. Deaths and injuries occur when children climb onto, fall against or pull themselves up on furniture. Items left on top of the TV, furniture, and countertops (such as toys, remote controls and treats) tempt kids to climb. For more safety resources, visit safetycenter.navy.mil

5 CPSC Top 4 Issues #4: Windows and Coverings Average of 12 deaths annually from window cords. Average of 9 deaths and 3,700 injuries to children annually when they fall out of windows. Children can strangle on window drapery and blind cords that can form a loop. Never place a child's crib or playpen within reach of a window blind. Dont rely on window screensthey are designed to keep bugs out, not to keep kids in. For more safety resources, visit safetycenter.navy.mil
