These FIREWORKS can cause BURNS
Monitoring product recalls is one of my responsibilities at work. While the kind folks at CPSC reach out to me via email on a daily basis, I skim and ignore the majority of their tips. Nanny appreciates the nanny state, thanks, but since the clock with lead paint under its dome is eight feet from the floor – and, um, the lead is encased in a dome – isn’t exactly a matter of concern for us. If the lead-painted numbers did become accessible to the Boo, I’d likely be more concerned about the broken glass from the dome.
Since I previously griped about the redundancy of recalls, instead of repeating myself, I’ll just link to myself: BOOM. Today’s email featured a warning akin to the machete-laceration issue I previously took, um, issue with. Are you ready? Sitting down, preferably in a padded room with a separate oxygen source and lots of safe food, to keep your nearest and dearest and self safe? All right. Here goes: fireworks can cause burns. I figured that one out before I hit kindygarten and it sure didn’t take a government agency. It took a sparkler.
Safety is no accident!
