New stickers on gas pumps in Kentucky remind you to check your backseat

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – You may have noticed some new stickers on gas pumps in the area reminding you to check your back seat.

These new stickers remind you to check for any kids or pets before you get out to fill up your car.

Ag Commissioner Jonathan Shell put these out Tuesday as the Agriculture Department inspects all gas pumps to make sure they work properly.

Shell stresses how important they are in reminding people to take a look before they fill up.

“This is just a PSA… something for us to be able to help make sure that people across the state… whenever they’re pumping their gas, that they get an extra awareness to check in the back seat of the vehicle, to check your vehicle, to make sure that you’re not leaving children in hot vehicles,” he says.
