Glass top tables, shower doors, glass entertainment centers, patio furniture and low un-filmed windows all pose serious threats to young children. Injuries are typically caused when children jump, sit or fall onto or into annealed or ordinary glass. This type of glass will break into jagged shards of glass that can cause severe lacerations, leaving disfiguring scars and damaging tendons and nerves. "Huge shards of glass are basically like knives. If they sever an artery, they can cause uncontrolled bleeding, and the injury can be fatal," says Amir Kimia, MD, of the Division of Emergency Medicine at Children's Hospital in Boston.
