Halogen Floor Lamps Make sure that halogen torchiere floor lamps have glass or wire guards over the bulb shield and the bulb is 300 watts or less. Glass or wire guards with lower wattage bulbs can prevent fires that occur when flammable materials like curtains get too close to the lamp. Wire guards are free. Playpens and Play Yards Check that playpens and play yards have not been recalled. Recalled products include play yards with protruding hardware or rotating top rails that don't properly lock into place.
Children can strangle if pacifier strings or clothing become entangled on protruding hardware.
Children can be entrapped by folding play yards that collapse. Car Seat Carriers Check to make sure the infant car sear carrier you are buying has not been recalled. Car seat carrier handle locks on recalled models can unexpectedly release when used as a carrier outside of a car. Infants can fall forward and strike the ground if the handle disengages. Bunk Beds Make sure all spaces between the guardrail and bed frame and all spaces in the bed headboard and footboards of the top bunk are less than 3 inches.
