    Avoid hidden home hazards

    Consumer Reports News: August 02, 2007 10:58 AM

    Each year in the United States, 33.1 million people are injured by consumer products in their homes, reports the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. And sometimes the culprit isn't necessarily a piece of equipment associated with a high risk of injury, like a chain saw or ladder.

    "The home is where people feel comfortable and secure, but constant awareness is the key to keeping families safe," said Nancy Nord, the CPSC's acting chair. "[The] CPSC is aiming to increase awareness of the hidden hazards around the home in order to help consumers protect against these dangers." Find out what the the top five hidden home hazards are in this new item from the Consumer Reports On Safety blog.
