How to prevent holiday hazards
The best advice for families gathering next week, Fleming urged, is “never leave food unattended on the stove or in the oven.”

The consumer safety group also has safety warnings for this fun time of year.
“If you’re decorating with string of holiday lights, check for damaged bulbs, cracked sockets, frayed wires, or loose connections.” Fleming advises.
“When you think of the holidays, you think of toys and children,” says Fleming. “Using age labels on toys as a guide is the most important safety tip.”
