DON’T THROW THE BABY INTO THE CEILING FAN

A study in the journal Pediatrics found between 2013 and 2021, emergency rooms saw 20,500 children treated for ceiling fan-related injuries. The study found head injuries from ceiling fans happen most often in two age groups: babies under one year old hurt from being lifted or tossed into the air by an adult, and four-year-olds jumping on beds, particularly bunk beds. While many of these injuries are treatable, there have been several fatalities.
* So now you can’t toss the baby into a ceiling fan. I’m tired of your rules, man!
* And don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater, either.
* Could they make the fan blades out of foam, like Nerf bullets?
* I bet some study could find a correlation between the advent of ceiling fans and the decline of student test scores.
* Time for another warning label.
