Seemingly Harmless Things that Can Cause Serious Injury and Death

When lint builds up in your dryer, it could cause your dryer to overheat and potentially catch fire. According to a 1998 report from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, there were roughly 15,600 dryer fires that year, causing 20 deaths and 370 injuries. Stay safe: Clean out your dryer lint in between each use.
