Report Release: Window Fall Prevention

Window screens keep bugs out, but won't keep kids in. CPSC is urging consumers to think safety before opening windows where young children are present.  CPSC data indicates that, on average, about eight deaths from window falls occur yearly to children five years and younger. An estimated 3,300 children five and younger are treated each year in hospital emergency rooms.  Hospitalization is required for about 34 percent of these children falling from a window.
