Parents warned about children/pet door danger
New research has found that over 100 deaths during the past decade can be attributed to children getting caught in pet doors, prompting the need to alert parents about the potential dangers.
“What we see is a picture that’s emerging which shows that the pet door is a really serious hazard in a home that no one has really had on the radar screen,” said Sean Kane, of Safety Research and Strategies.
At the request of trial lawyers, Kane combed through hundreds of coroner’s reports and media accounts.
“It’s a very laborious task to get through the documents and the data and the connections to find these incidents,” said Kane. “But I think at the end of this we’re going to find hundreds of incidents.”
