Hey, Kids!

Guess what, kids? There may be products in your home that can hurt you! Find out first -- here on CPSC's Website -- how to protect yourself and your family.

You're now on the newest and COOLEST page of CPSC's website, designed especially for you. We hope you will find some good information about safety. Find out the latest information on product recalls and ways to prevent injuries -- like wearing your safety gear. Would you believe -- 356,000 children went to the hospital emergency room in 1996 for bike-related injuries? In that same year, 58,000 children went to hospital emergency rooms for injuries from in-line skating!

Be sure to tell your friends and family what you've found. Find out if they know as much as you do about safety by giving them a little safety quiz!!

We're also interested in hearing from YOU! Go to "Report unsafe products" and give us YOUR ideas on helping other kids to learn more about product safety. REMEMBER: Be SMART, Be COOL, and Be SAFE!

The following stuff is about product safety. If the stuff you want has this in front of it, you need to have something called Adobe(TM) Acrobat(TM) reader. If you don't have it, you can get it right off the Internet for free by clicking here!. If you need help in following the instructions, get someone in your family, or a friend or teacher, to help you. Sometimes we will also have the product safety stuff with no pictures so you don't need Adobe Acrobat -- look for No pictures.
