Experts Warn After Kitchen Ovens Are Becoming A Death Trap For Kids
Children are so inquisitive. They want to be up where Mom and Dad are and and see what they’re “missing out” on. It’s more common than you would think to have a child open the oven door and use it as a step up to see the action on the counter or climb to upper cabinets. Add in a hot pot of something cooking on the stove and the risk grows even greater. The crew of Inside Edition did a random check on a few homes nearby. They found that very few had the anti-tip measures in place, or had even thought of the dangers of a tipping stove.
“Scary, there’s a lot of things you need to do to protect these kids. This is just one of them, I never thought about!”
Often the danger prepared for is children turning knobs on or touching a hot burner. Having the entire oven tip onto them is lesser considered. But there are steps that can be taken to protect from these horrible accidents. There are safety devices that prevent your oven door from opening without your knowledge. Most importantly, there are anti-tip brackets that can be purchased at any home improvement store. These L shaped brackets screw into the wall behind the oven and the foot of the oven slides right into it. It’s a simple $10 fix to protect your family from disastrous harm!

Today's Devotional
A Prayer for Victory over Sinful Thoughts - Your Daily Prayer - July 26
Victory over sinful thoughts starts with dependence upon God to stay free from enslaving sin. It’s a life lived with a surrendered mouth and heart before God. Winning requires us to remember our Rock, who rescues us and gives us a firm standing place, and our Redeemer, who rescues us from total loss.
