Consumer Reports: Summer safety tips
· KRGV (NBC 5)
As summer approaches, safety experts emphasize the importance of precautions to prevent injuries among children. Dr. Darria Long, an emergency physician, highlights that many accidents can be avoided with proper supervision, especially around water. Parents should assign an adult to watch children near pools or lakes and avoid distractions. Inflatable floaties are not a substitute for U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets for weak swimmers. Additionally, children on bikes or scooters must wear well-fitted helmets. Families should also secure windows to prevent falls. These simple measures can help ensure a safer and more enjoyable summer for everyone.
