As Weather Warms, Experts Renew Call For Window Safety

Every day 14 children in the U.S. are injured from window falls resulting in 5,200 children and adolescents 17 years of age and younger being treated in emergency rooms. "Window fall injuries are serious. In fact, one out of every four children was hospitalized as a result of their injury," said Gary Smith, director of the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children's Hospital in a study published in Pediatrics last fall. That's why the National Safety Council sets aside the first week of April to call attention to window safety.
