As the weather warms up, it's essential to raise awareness about the hidden danger windows can pose in our homes. Window falls can happen quickly and unexpectedly, especially with young children around.

Here are some proactive steps you can take to help prevent window falls:

🏠 Keep windows closed and locked when not in use, especially when young children are present. If ventilation is needed, opt for windows that are out of reach for children.
🏠 Install window stops or guards, as screens are designed to keep bugs out, not children in. Ensure that windows are stopped at a maximum of 4 inches when open, even with screens in place.
🏠 Avoid placing furniture or items that children can climb near a window. This minimizes the risk of children exploring and potentially falling.
🏠 Teach children to stay at least 2 feet away from windows and reinforce this safety rule consistently.

Let the sunshine and nice weather in, but always prioritize safety. Let’s work together to prevent window falls.

Stay safe! ☀️🪟
