In addition to the \”death cabinet\”, there are also these hidden deadly killers in your home! Come and check quickly

I saw a video on Facebook yesterday and it really made me anxious. A pair of twin boys were climbing on a bedroom cabinet when it fell over. One of the boys was pushed out of the cabinet, and the other was pinned down and unable to move. Fortunately, the boy who was pushed out pushed and pulled around the cabinet and successfully freed the boy who was pinned down. The video lasted for 2 minutes. It was thrilling and heart-wrenching, and my palms were sweating. This incident reminded G. of last year\’s IKEA \”death cabinet\” incident, which took away the lives of three young children. Incidents of furniture and home appliances overturning have occurred frequently in recent years. According to a survey, in the 17 years from 1990 to 2007 in the United States, there were an average of 14,700 personal injury accidents due to overturned furniture and home appliances, and 300 fatal accidents occurred every year. (Data from the Emergency Center of Children’s National Hospital in the United States) If there are children at home, you must be careful about the furniture furnishings. Today I want to take you dads to check whether there is “dangerous furniture” in your home! How to choose and place cabinets safely? Rollover is the biggest cause of accidents, and the furniture must be stabilized first. Children\’s cabinets/drawers should not be higher than 50cm: The US Consumer Product Safety Council (CPSC) recommends that if children\’s cabinets do not have the possibility of being fixed to the wall, the height should be less than 50cm, and adult cabinets need to be less than 75cm. Keep storage items heavy at the bottom and light at the top: For heavier items, place them at the bottom as much as possible to avoid tipping due to the high center of gravity. Install a bottom stabilizing plate: The stabilizing plate has a certain slope. Raising the bottom of the cabinet can improve the possibility of the cabinet tilting forward. Install a top support rod: Use the top support rod to be stuck between the ceiling and the cabinet to make the cabinet into a stable shape and not easy to tip over. Use cabinet door locks or child locks: If the cabinet door opens and closes vertically, use the cabinet door lock to lock the door directly to prevent it from shaking. If it is a horizontal drawer, use child locks to secure two adjacent drawers at right angles. Child locks are also suitable for refrigerator doors, etc. Apply explosion-proof film to the glass cabinet door: If the cabinet door is made of glass, apply a glass explosion-proof film to prevent the glass from flying around if it is broken. Check for unfixed furniture for potential safety hazards at home: All furniture should be fixed as much as possible. TV sets, TV cabinets, coffee tables, etc. Prevent children from dragging and collapsing. Blinds: The window leaves of blinds are made of fine ropes connected in series. There is a risk of children\’s fingers and toes getting caught. There are also curtain ropes, which can trap children\’s necks and cause suffocation. In addition to blinds, try not to use cord-operated curtains. Safety door card: If pushed or pulled improperly, or under special circumstances such as wind blowing, children can easily get their fingers and heads caught. It is recommended to install security cards above all doors in your home. Soft sofas: Soft sofas increase the risk of suffocation, and children may roll into the gap between the back of the sofa or fall to the floor. Adults should not place children alone on a soft sofa. If they are tired, they should put them back in the crib before resting. This is also the reason why it is not recommended to install a bed surround for a crib (one more thing, don’t put a cabinet next to the crib). Furniture with sharp edges and corners: Furniture with sharp edges and corners, such as coffee tables, tables, etc., should be equipped with protective pads with rounded corners to prevent children from collision. floor:If you have children at home, it is not recommended to wax the floor. Although it looks cleaner and smoother, the friction is too small and children can easily fall. When the room temperature is suitable, it is not recommended that children wear socks to play as they may slip and fall. If there is water or other liquids on the floor, wipe it up immediately. Carpet: If the carpet cannot be completely fixed when running, then a non-slip mat may be needed underneath. Place crawling mats in areas where children often crawl. Sockets: Many children like to put their fingers into the small black holes in these locations to play. It is recommended that sockets that are within reach of children should be equipped with power socket covers and the plug should be pulled out when the power strip is not in use. Stairs: If you live in Dabieye (not a typo) and have railings with large gaps, be sure to install protective nets to prevent falls. Folding seats: Do not let children sit alone in adult-sized folding chairs, as they can easily get caught or tip over. How to ensure the safety of children? Always pay attention to safety hazards: Use children’s perspective to consider the world they see and simulate places where hidden dangers may occur. For example, pits and sharp corners of coffee tables that we would never think of in daily life are very dangerous to children. It is best for a guardian to be present: If possible, it is best to have a guardian nearby. With adult supervision, I believe that almost all dangers can be avoided. Carry out specific safety education: If children do not respond to your safety warnings, should you reflect on whether you are speaking too generally? \”Don\’t touch the socket\” is replaced by \”Don\’t put your fingers into the small hole in the wall\” \”Don\’t climb on the drawers and cabinets\” is replaced by \”Don\’t climb where there is no path under your feet\” Replace the adult language with children\’s language, they may Just accept it.
