If you have a freestanding range, be sure it can't tip over.
Old ranges weighed so much they were hard to knock over, but even a very young toddler can knock over a modern one. Half of all fatal accidents involved kids less then 2!

They're only missing in about half of the houses you inspect? Wow, that's pretty good. It's closer to about 90% for me.
Great point JJ and Suzanne. This is a serious problem. I don't think most homeowners have any idea this is part of the installation.
