It’s the season for Spring cleaning and getting kids outdoors to play, but there are safety precautions to consider at the start of the sunny seasons.
Did you know that on average, one child dies every 10 days when a TV or furniture falls onto him or her, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Commission.
