Corners: the silent boo-boo makers

Look in the mirror and find the spot on your face that was marred by the corner of a coffee table, dresser or vanity when you were a kid. You know it's there, perhaps hidden now under bangs or behind an intricately-groomed mustache, but it's there. The mark of the dreaded corner.

How much longer must we silently stand by and let corners have their way with our beautiful faces and those of our children? How many corners lurk menacingly in your house - right under your nose! - while you blithely turn a blind eye?

It can happen to you. It can happen to your children.

Corners.
Get the facts... before it's too late.
