Westchester offers pool safety tips

May
28

Westchester County’s Department of Consumer Protection is warning parents and others taking care of children about the dangers of inflatable pools.

The county’s laws require stores selling inflatable pools deeper than two feet to post signs urging parents to make sure their children are supervised while in the pool.

The department’s inspectors have been visiting retailers to distribute signs and make sure they’re posted.

Gary Brown, the director of consumer protection, said: “We are not aware of any reports of drowning in Westchester that are attributable to inflatable pools. Our goal is to keep it that way.”
