Welcome to Pediatric Safety’s weekly “Child Health & Safety News Roundup”- a recap of the past week’s child health and safety news headlines from around the world.
Each day we use Twitter to communicate relevant and timely health and safety information to the parents, medical professionals and other caregivers who follow us. Occasionally we may miss something, but we think overall we’re doing a pretty good job of keeping you informed. But for our friends and colleagues who are not on Twitter (or who are but may have missed something), we offer you a recap of the past week’s top 20 events & stories.

Thats an insightful list. its scary how accidents have to happen to get some things into the public eye though. My parents just seemed to know not to let me do things that put me at risk but now with the health and safety and red tape there has to be a document and a process for everything otherwise it is someone else fault. It sickens me a little to say it but Im glad that info on things such as how to help your kids avoid burns etc is published online and easy to get hold of as people do, in this day and age, need to read it!
