At NAFC, we remain perennially concerned about home safety for the elderly, particularly with regards to the risk factors for falling and their consequences.

I think we should be careful with out kids too. I have read on Project Weight Loss some tips regarding our children's safety. Laundry room may be a dangerous place too.

Usually I dispose empty containers in the outdoor trash and wipe up any residue after use. Talking about clothes, best time to iron is when children sleep.
