LOCAL RESEARCH / Morgan Hill
Local context
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission’s window-fall guidance says never to depend on screens to keep children from falling out of windows, and suggests window guards, or window stops so that a window opens no more than 4 inches. It matters when you change how a window opens or replace hardware or screens. Raise it with the provider if young children use the room, and ask how any guard or stop interacts with escape and rescue openings. This is national safety guidance, not a compliance finding for your property.
