review of child injury research from Safe Kids Canada demonstrates that Canadian homes may not be as safe for children

as part of the national Safe Kids Week campaign, the majority of Canadians (86 per cent) assume the products they
buy for their homes are safe for the family to use. This is not always the case. While products used every day
by adults have a purpose, these same products can become dangerous when used incorrectly by children.
