Safety tips

• Pool safety: layers of protection (CPSC) — Four-sided isolation fencing at least four feet high with a self-closing, self-latching gate, plus constant adult supervision and swim lessons, prevents most child drownings.
• Never charge lithium-ion e-bikes or scooters overnight (CPSC) — Charge on a hard surface away from exits and bedrooms, use only the manufacturer's charger, and stop using any battery that swells, hisses, or smells.
• Check the air quality before outdoor exercise (EPA AirNow) — AirNow's daily AQI tells you when smoke or ozone makes outdoor activity risky for kids, older adults, and anyone with asthma or heart disease.
