A study published in the August issue of Pediatrics claims despite current safety efforts, thousands of U.S. children need emergency medical care for preventable lawn mower-related injuries each year. According to researchers at the Center for Injury Research and Policy (CIRP) at Columbus Children's Research Institute, an average of 9,400 persons 20 years old and younger receive treatment in U.S. emergency departments annually, with 25 percent of the injuries incurred by children younger than five years of age.
