As the weather gets warm and grass grows relentlessly, an important warning was recently issued by HealthNewsDigest.com about the dangers of mixing lawnmowers and kids.

It is also part of a launch of a new program by lawnmower manufacturer Husqvarna, which is including a bright yellow card and a "Kids and Mowers Don't Mix" key chain with each of its newly manufactured lawn tractors.

Some lawnmower safety tips included on the card are:

• Know where your kids are. Keep kids away from the mowing area. Have adult supervision to prevent them from approaching the mower before you have finished. Stop mowing if a child approaches the mowing area.
• Never give rides. A child may fall off the mower and into the spinning blades. Giving rides may also cause the child to be attracted to the mower and the child may later approach without being seen.
• Use extreme caution in reverse. Keep alert for anyone who may enter the mowing area. Always look down and behind before and while backing up.
