“Deaths relating to fires caused by children at play are surprisingly high during the winter months. In December the number is double its year-round average,” according to ESFi. For a child, there is absolutely nothing better than getting your favorite toy to play with during the holidays, and there’s no better feeling for a parent than seeing your child happy. However, there are a few safety tips you must follow in order to ensure that your children remain safe this holiday season.
To eliminate the risk of burns and electrical shock:
- Do not give children under the age of 10 a toy that has to be plugged in, buy battery operated toys instead
- Make sure each toy has a fire safety label from an independent testing laboratory
- Be cognizant when placing candles or holiday lights around your home. Make sure to place them out of reach of your small children
