There’s nothing quite like a warm spring day, the gentle breeze carrying the sweet scent of blossoming flowers into your home. Opening your windows to let the fresh air in is a simple pleasure that can brighten even the gloomiest of moods.
But every good thing comes with some risks, and open windows are no exception. Every year, at least 3,300 accidents in the U.S. are related to falls from windows, with the majority involving very young children. That’s why each year, the Window Safety Task Force and the National Safety Council come together to educate families on the importance of window safety. This year, National Window Safety Week will take place from April 3-9, 2023.
