If Trees Could Talk, Would They Still Be Homicidal?
This holiday season the Consumer Product Safety Commission would like to remind you that Christmas trees think of nothing but murder all day:
CSPC Warns: Avoid Hazards Related to Holiday Decorating
CPSC estimates there are more than 14,000 candle-related fires each year, which result in about 170 deaths and $350 million in property loss. Dried-out Christmas trees are involved in about 200 fires annually, resulting in 10 deaths, and about $10 million in property damage. During November and December of each year, about 10,000 people are treated in hospital emergency rooms as a result of falls, cuts, shocks and burns related to holiday decorating.
Which prompts the question: What are you most likely to die from this Christmas? GHB-laced Chinese imports or deadly decor?
