aboard them and increase their chances of serious injury.
Each year, hospital emergency departments treat about 12,500 people for
injuries, including falls, cuts and electrical shock, related to holiday
lights, decorations and Christmas trees.
Playing with toys is important in the lives of all children.
Besides being fun and educational, it is also a necessary part of child
development. Unfortunately, not all toys are safe. So finding
appropriate toys for your children or the children of a friend or
relative becomes more of a concern during the holidays.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an
estimated 114,000 Americans require hospital treatment and 36,000 die

With Fourth of July celebrations just around the corner, the fun could
lead to a trip to the emergency room if proper precautions are not
followed when using fireworks.
