Is it safe to let your child play in the washing machine when running?
Here's why:
* Drowning Hazard: Even a small amount of water in the washing machine can be enough to drown a child.
* Entrapment: A child can become trapped inside the washing machine, especially as the drum spins.
* Suffocation: The spinning drum can create a vacuum, which can suffocate a child.
* Electrocution: The washing machine uses electricity, and there's a risk of electrocution if a child comes into contact with live wires.
* Injury from the Machine: The moving parts of the washing machine can cause serious injuries, such as cuts, bruises, or broken bones.
Never, under any circumstances, allow a child to play in a washing machine, even if it's not running.
It's important to supervise children around all household appliances, including washing machines. Keep washing machines out of reach of children, and ensure they are properly closed and locked when not in use.
