Hi! I'm Karina Fraley for Expert Village, and today I'm giving you advice for baby proofing
your bedroom. Something to keep in mind when you come from the dry cleaners is that the
plastic bag that your clothes come home in are actually very deadly for a child. They
pose a very real suffocation hazard, so you want to be sure that you don't keep them in
the house, especially if you have a closet that is so accessible to a small child. Even
in a moment that you put your clean dry cleaning and run out of the room for a second to grab
something, phone or whatever, you can come back to find a very tragic scene with a child
whenever there's bag involved. I recommend removing your clothes from the plastic bags
immediately, tearing them up, put them in trashcan, and just getting them out of the
house. As far as any sort of plastic garbage bag, you really need to keep those under the
sink, in the kitchen, or the bathroom while protected by a child safety latch that your
child can't get into it. Be very mindful always of these things. Don't come home and just
drop your packages on the ground and go into the kitchen or go into another room and leave
your child alone with these bags. There have been many cases, countless cases, of children
suffocating this way.
