Be Very Careful With Retractable Leashes and Small Children

This dear women sent an email to a friend of Hudson's just warning her about young children and retractable leashes. It is worth reading...
My 4 year old grand-niece pulled out the leash part of a retractable leash for their dog, and wrapped it around her neck, then couldn't get it off when it pulled back into the leash itself.........she almost died, and by the grace of God, my sister found her in time. She is fine now, but was found semi-conscious
It never occurred to me to think about a retractable leash as a potential safety hazard.I know anything wrapped around a child's neck is, of course, dangerous...but I just wanted to pass this along.
Sincerely, Karen
