Because many public health interventions for child safety involve the proper use and installation of safety devices, this session will provide a comprehensive review of safety messages, usage tips and applicable consumer standards associated with these devices, including: bike helmets, carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, gun locks, personal flotation devices, and pool safety devices.

The session will also cover general consumer product safety issues, such as recall awareness and the role of voluntary/involuntary standards in keeping kids safe. In addition, a representative from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) will discuss emerging hazards that may pose risks to children.
