Safe Kids USA cautions parents to look at all possible things their children can get into and take preventative measures, such as ensuring windows are secured and out of reach, flat screen TVs are mounted on the wall or far enough back so they can’t be toppled and all window cords and power cords are safely stowed away and out of a child’s reach.
