Safe Toys And Celebrations Month

While celebrating the festivities and opening champagne, watch the corks.
Make sure corks are pointed away from you and others.
Prevent the cork from popping off uncontrollably by placing a towel over the cork and slowly turning the cork with a slight upward pull.
And remember to keep the bottle cold; sparkling wine should be chilled to at least 45 degrees Fahrenheit before opening.

 

 

When choosing gifts, make sure they don’t pose a hidden danger to your loved ones’ eyes.
Select only toys and gifts that are appropriate for a child’s age and maturity level.
Avoid toys with sharp, protruding or projectile parts.
Consider carefully before giving BB, paint or pellet guns, as well as rifles or darts.
Most importantly, make sure children have appropriate supervision when playing with potentially hazardous toys or games.

* Be careful around the Christmas tree. Branches and needles can be hazardous to eyes, so be especially careful when untying your tree. Branches can quickly burst forward, hitting and injuring your eyes. Glass ornaments should be hung out of a child’s reach.

Have a great holiday season, but please remember to celebrate responsibly. If you experience any eye injuries, seek medical attention promptly.
