Shoppers get seat belts
WASHINGTON — A recently formed national organization is criss-crossing the country this month giving awards to stores offering a new shopping idea — carts equipped with seat belts.
On Friday, the Washington division of Safeway Stores Inc. was the latest to be recognized by the New Jersey-based National Supermarket Child Safety Committee.
Three other companies already have been given plaques and 10 more will be honored before the end of September, which Congress has designated National Supermarket Child Safety Month.
Safety committee spokesman Paul Giampavolo said about 9,000 children a year are injured in falls from shopping carts.
“What happens in the food store is that children reach for brightly colored packages and topple right out of the carts,” Mr. Giampavolo said.
Ernie Moore, public affairs manager for the 160 Safeway stores in the Washington region, said his division has not experienced serious problems, but is equipping ip to 25 carts in each store with belts as a precaution. ‘
