LaJolla Boat Bed and Pirates of the Caribbean Twin Trundle Beds sold at Costco and furniture retail stores nationwide and Costco.com from January 2006 through May 2008 for between $700 and $1,400 are being recalled. The beds have a toy box on the foot-board of the bed and the lid supports on the toy chests fail to prevent the lid from closing too quickly, posing an entrapment and strangulation hazard to young children. A 22 month old toddler was killed when the toy chest fell on the back of his head and entrapped his neck on the edge of the chest of a LaJolla Boat Bed.

The 4th of July can be a lot of fun, but it can also be a time for a lot of injuries.  According to KidsHealth there were more than 10,000 people treated in emergency rooms in 2005 for fireworks related injuries.  And of those 10,000 people almost half were under the age of 15.  Even items like sparklers (which I always used as a kid) are very dangerous- they can reach 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit and cause serious injuries.

How can you enjoy your 4th of July holiday safely?  Leave the fireworks to the professionals!
