Seventy-three percent of the injuries for 2016 were to children under 15 years of age and 35 percent were to children under five. Forty-five percent of the estimated injuries were to the head and face area. Popular toys like balls, balloons, game dice, motorized and non-motorized scooters, and stuffed animals, were involved in a large number of accidents. In addition, the CPSC reported that there were approximately 7 toy-related deaths involving children under age 15 in 2016. The most common cause of death were riding toy deaths due to motor vehicle involvement.
Child Safety Products
According to the CPSC, in 2003, defective baby and child safety products were responsible for nearly 35,000 injuries. For example, items like car seats and carriers, which are designed to protect babies and children, caused more than 13,000 injuries. In addition, strollers and carriages caused more than 10,000 injuries, and more than 10,000 were caused by cribs.
