US firm Pop-A-Lock supports "PALSavesKids" and rescues over 350,000 children from lockouts

As tragic and hard to believe as it may be, 30 children died in 2014 of heatstroke from being left in a car unattended. In 2013 that number was 44, and while it is hoped that the number will continue to decrease, an average of 38 children have died every year since 1998 from being left in a car and getting heat stroke. From 1998 to 2014, 606 children died in total (US figures).

To put an end to this tragedy, Pop-A-Lock now supports a free community service program named "PALSavesKids" and has rescued over 350,000 kids from lockouts for FREE. The public service program reminds busy caregivers to be hyper-vigilant of their children's presence during the hot summer months through a new call-to-action - PALSaves: 1-Stop, 2-Look, 3-Lock.
