Their tall, straight sides combined with their stability make it nearly impossible for infants to free themselves when they topple in headfirst.<\/p>\n<p>Toilets are often also overlooked as a drowning hazard in the home. Most incidents involve a child younger than three years of age falling headfirst into the toilet.<\/p>\n<p>Childhood drowning deaths also occur in other containers with liquids, including pails, coolers, sinks, fish tanks and landscape ponds.<\/p>\n<p>CPSC offers safety tips to help prevent children from drowning in and around the home.<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Never leave a baby alone, or with young siblings, in a bathtub even for a second. Always keep baby within arm&#8217;s reach. Children can drown quickly and silently.\n<\/li>\n<li>Keep the toilet lid down, and keep young children out of the bathroom when unsupervised. Consider placing a latch on the bathroom door out of reach of young children.\n<\/li>\n<li>Be sure all containers with liquids are emptied immediately after use. Do not leave empty containers in yards or around the house where they may accumulate water and attract young children.\n<\/li>\n<li>Always secure the safety cover on your spa or hot tub.\n<\/li>\n<li>Learn CPR. It can be a lifesaver.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For additional information, visit the CPSC&#8217;s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cpsc.gov\/Safety-Education\/Safety-Education-Centers\/In-Home-Drowning-Safety-Information-Center\" rel=\"nofollow\">in-home drowning information center<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/sh\/l6h5lsvg2d4or8x\/AABRL9PpJ2AEZF78hYHk2X1la?dl=0\" rel=\"nofollow\">Click Here for In-Home Drowning photos<\/a><\/p>\n<p><i>*The most recent year that reporting is considered complete.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>For more lifesaving information, follow us on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/USCPSC\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Facebook<\/a>, Instagram <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/uscpsc\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">@USCPSC<\/a> and Twitter <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/USCPSC\" rel=\"nofollow\">@USCPSC<\/a> or sign up to receive our <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cpsc.gov\/en\/Newsroom\/Subscribe\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">e-mail <\/a>alerts.
