CableOrganizer.com Offers List of '10 Simple Ways to Thwart Common Household Hazards'

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL--(Marketwire - September 3, 2008) - In honor of the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association's Baby Safety Month (http://www.jpma.org/bsm/2008), award-winning eTailer CableOrganizer.com, among the world's leading providers of cable, wire and equipment management-related products for use in business and at home, today released its list of 10 simple ways to thwart common household hazards beyond the most basic childproofing methods.

"Even with fundamental childproofing measures in place, a home is still full of dangers that are a threat to curious kids," said Paul Holstein, CableOrganizer.com's COO. "While some hazards are fairly obvious, others can lurk in the most unexpected places, with electrical appliance and equipment cables and wires at the top of the list. Small children, and even common household animals like cats, dogs, rabbits and ferrets, often see equipment wires as play things -- and sometimes chew toys. Clearly this puts the child or pet at great bodily risk, with electric shock and strangulation of paramount concern."

With this in mind, CableOrganizer.com offers youth caregivers these "Phase 2" home childproofing strategies:

--  Cable Control on the Cheap: For just a few dollars, computer cables
    can be easily shielded with split wire loom, flexible and durable
    polyethylene corrugated tube with a split down the side where you enter
    your multi-cable bundle. If you have to add another wire later on, you can
    easily slip it into the split wire loom along with the others without
    removing the entire bundle.
    
--  Achieve Lift-Off: Cables, power adapters, power strips, hubs, modems
    and other small devices can be readily lifted off the floor and put safely
    out of harm's way with solutions such as the Cable-Safe™ Complete Cable
    Manager -- an extremely effective and inexpensive way to loop, tie and hang
    "cable clutter" off the floor, which will also reduce the risk of snags,
    trips, and liquid spills.
    
--  Chemistry 101: Most homes contain hazardous chemicals.  Many cleaning
    agents, art supplies, and home office supplies may contain properties that,
    if ingested, can have serious health consequences. In kids' high use areas,
    utilizing chemicals labeled as "environmentally safe, non-hazardous, non-
    toxic and non-corrosive" is your best bet.
    
--  Surface Raceways: Wires that run across the floor to a distant outlet
    are among the most dangerous, relative to both bodily injury and equipment
    damage. Fortunately, surface raceways offer an easy way to organize and
    protect electrical cords that run along the floor or on the wall. These
    "cable channels" are made of tough PVC and can be painted to match your
    home decor.
    
--  Cord Protectors: These wire cover systems are another great way to
    keep children and adults alike from tripping on loose cables and cords
    running across a walkway or behind furniture. Cord protectors cover, hide,
    and protect cords and cables while keeping floors clear and safe. They also
    lie flat, and stay flat, and are decidedly easy to install.
    
--  Heavy Metal: Whether you want greater protection for your wires from
    children or animals or have a need to protect outdoor cables from fire,
    wildlife or the elements, Metal Braided Sleeving, made from fire retardant
    tin-coated copper, is both flexible and strong, also offering
    Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) protection.
    
--  Take the Edge Off: Wrap anything with a sharp edge such as
    broken/cracked glass, brittle plastic casings or other objects, or other
    materials that may break and produce a sharp or rough edge in corrugated
    cardboard and secure with a heavy-duty tape to protect yourself and others
    from accidental lacerations.  This is especially important before placing
    such items in a trash container.
    
--  Get Attached: Assure bookshelves and cabinets over 5 feet in height,
    particularly those that are top-heavy, are secured to the wall with the
    appropriate mount or fastener to ensure they do not fall over and deliver a
    crushing blow to whoever is on the receiving end.
