    Keep babies and young children away from the dishwasher

    Consumer Reports News: September 11, 2009 02:43 PM

    An empty dishwasher can injure. Common sense tells you to keep children away from an open dishwasher filled with knives and forks. But an open dishwasher is dangerous to small children even when empty. A dishwasher rack is basically a series of blunt spikes. If your child falls onto a rack, he will almost certainly land face first and could be seriously injured. So don't ask a small child to help load or unload the dishwasher. It's best if she is out of the kitchen while you do this chore.
