January Is National Bath Safety Month

January Is National Bath Safety Month: Keep Your Family Safe with VersaTraction’s Safety Bath Mats

As we step into the new year, January brings an important reminder that often gets overlooked: bath safety. National Bath Safety Month is the perfect time to address the risks associated with one of the most essential areas in our homes — the bathroom. With slippery surfaces, water, and soap, bathrooms are among the most common locations for accidents in the home, especially for children, seniors, and individuals with limited mobility.

The Importance of Bath Safety

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 230,000 bathroom-related injuries occur in the United States each year. These incidents often result from slips and falls in the tub or shower. For families with young children or elderly members, the risks can be even higher. A single fall can lead to serious injuries, including fractures, head trauma, and long-term complications.
