Bucket

Do not leave buckets of water unattended. Children can drown in as little as one inch of water. It is estimated that 30 children die annually from drowning in buckets. Since 1984, more than 327 children, 89 percent between the ages of 7 months and 15 months, have drowned in buckets containing water or other liquids used for mopping floors and other household chores.
