The law is aimed! at reducing the estimated 700,000 j injuries frem toys that G';.cur in and around the home "..nually. Bicycles were involved in the majority of the toy-associated in-■ j.:y cases. Other vehicular-type toys, such as roller skates, sleds ■ and tricycles were linked with most of the rest of these injur ies. Dolls, homemaker items such as toy stoves and irons, stuffed animals, chemistry sets, and moldin,» equipment accounted for less than 1 per c*ent of the re-! forted cases. iT^'o law can protect a child completely from all dangers. With approximately 12,000 toy I firms in the country resulting in j estimated sales of $3 billion in I toys each year and approximate- ly 83,000 entries ot imported toys each year, complete surveillance of the toy market is impossible. (With limited money- and man power resources diverted from other product safety programs to toy safety activities, FDA has obtained voluntary -modificallons : of approximately 74 types of toys identified as having poten tial mechanical hazards.

The stations are designed so that the maximum temperature of discharged water is about the temperature of the human body. And this heat radiates rapidly to the atmosphere. Tocheck on the design and operations of the stations, we continually monitor temperatures and moke biological stud ies of the water in our lakes. So you’ll find good fishing on Duke Power s lakes. Some of the best, in fact, is near our stations. And our scientists — like Bill Adair—ore working closely with governmental and independent scientists to keep it that way.
