UMGQIBELO, Oct. 9, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Izimpumputhe nezimbozwe zamafasitela kungase kubonakale kungenangozi, kodwa izintambo zakhona zingabulala izingane ezincane nezinsana.
Indlela engcono kakhulu yokuvimbela izingane ekungeneni kulezi zintambo iwukuba esikhundleni samakhethini akho ufake izinguqulo ezingenazintambo, kweluleka i-Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC).
"Izingane ziklinywe zashona ezintanjeni zamakhethini amafasitela, ama-shades, ama-draperies nokunye okumboze amawindi, futhi lokhu kungenzeka ngesikhashana nje, ngisho nomuntu omdala oseduze," kusho uSihlalo Osabambile we-CPSC uRobert Adler esitatimendeni sezindaba sekhomishini. "Inketho ephephe kunazo zonke lapho izingane ezincane zikhona ukuhamba ngaphandle kwezintambo."
Ukukhwabanisa kungenzeka esikhathini esingaphansi kweminithi futhi kuthulile, ngakho-ke ungase ungazi ukuthi kuyenzeka ngisho noma useduze.
Cishe izingane eziyisishiyagalolunye ezineminyaka engu-5 nangaphansi ziyafa unyaka ngamunye ngenxa yokuklinywa kumakhethini amafasitela, ama-shades, ama-draperies nokunye ukumbozwa kwamafasitela, ngokusho kwe-CPSC.
Cishe izehlakalo ezengeziwe ezingu-200 ezihilela izingane ezifika eminyakeni eyi-8 zenzeke ngenxa yezintambo ezivala iwindi phakathi kukaJanuwari 2009 noDisemba 2020. Ukulimala kwakuhlanganisa izibazi entanyeni, i-quadriplegia kanye nokulimala okungapheli kwengqondo.
Izintambo zokudonsa, izintambo zeluphu eziqhubekayo, izintambo zangaphakathi nanoma yiziphi ezinye izintambo ezifinyelelekayo ezimbozweni zamafasitela konke kuyingozi ezinganeni ezincane.
Izembozo zewindi ezingenantambo zilebulwe njengezingenazintambo. Ayatholakala ezitolo ezinkulu kakhulu naku-inthanethi, futhi afaka izinketho ezingabizi. I-CPSC yeluleka ngokushintsha amakhethini ngezintambo kuwo wonke amagumbi lapho ingane ingase ibe khona.
Uma ungeke ukwazi ukufaka esikhundleni samakhethini akho anezintambo, i-CPSC incoma ukuthi uqede noma yiziphi izintambo ezilengayo ngokwenza izintambo zokudonsa zibe zifushane ngangokunokwenzeka. Gcina zonke izintambo zokuvala iwindi lapho izingane zingakwazi ukufinyelela khona.
Ungaqinisekisa futhi ukuthi izitobhi zezintambo zifakwe kahle futhi zilungiswa ukuze kukhawulwe ukunyakaza kwezintambo zokuphakamisa ngaphakathi. Gcoba izintambo ze-loop eziqhubekayo zama-draperies noma amakhethini phansi noma odongeni.
Gcina zonke izindlwana, imibhede kanye nefenisha yezingane kude namafasitela. Ziyise kolunye udonga, i-CPSC iyeluleka.
Ulwazi olwengeziwe
Isibhedlela Sezingane sase-Los Angeles sinikeza amathiphu engeziwe okuphepha amakhaya anezingane ezincane nezinsana.
