| The Shield Finger Guard introduces improved model to prevent door injuries  With door jam accidents on fingers and wrists high on the list of most frequent at-home accidents, The Shield Finger Guard is calling attention to its must-have newly improved product, especially for toddlers and children, in conjunction with National Home Safety Month this June. Organized by The Home Safety Council, this monthly distinction is set to educate and empower families and businesses to take actions that will make homes safe. With a "hands-on" approach to safety, the public has the responsibility to physically engage themselves in order to implement proper safety practices within the home.The new model by The Shield Finger Guard offers one-piece construction, which is easy to install with no tools required. The device attaches to the door's angular form with a pre-applied double-sided foam-tape. Doors continue to open and close freely. The Shield Finger Guard is available in two versions: one with excellent adhesion that can be cleanly removed for use in homes; and one with a permanent bond for institutions such as schools, daycare centers, hotels and any public building. The improved model comes folded at the compact size of 10" and unfolds to 39", half the height of an average door. Two Shield Finger Guard's will cover a whole door. Many parents have heard the terrifying scream of a child whose finger was caught in the hinge side of a door. The Shield Finger Guard offers an easy, inexpensive way to protect tiny fingers and hands from one of the most common accidents that occur at home. The Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that there are over 115, 000 finger, hand and wrist injuries involving doors treated in emergency rooms per year; nearly 45, 000 of those injuries involve children under the age of 14. This type of accident is prevalent in many homes. It is especially useful for parents and school officials juggling many activities and who can't keep an eye on their child at every moment. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
