Consumer Reports: Summer safety tips
· KRGV (NBC 5)
As summer approaches, families are reminded to prioritize safety to avoid accidents, particularly with children. Dr. Darria Long, an emergency physician, emphasizes the importance of supervision near water, recommending that one adult be designated to watch children at all times. Inflatable floaties are not a substitute for U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets for non-swimmers. Additionally, parents should ensure that pools are fenced with self-closing gates. When it comes to biking and scootering, children must wear properly fitted helmets. Lastly, families should secure windows to prevent falls, allowing for a safer and more enjoyable summer season.
