OUCH! and the CPSC & FDA Product Recall Lists

The Sun Sentinel has set up a Database from the Consumer Product Safety Commission's National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS), a collection of emergency room data from about 100 hospitals covering injuries, patient ages and other data.

If you are a guy, and feel like cringing for a while, type "penis" into the blank and then read the 763 results. Dry humping, child bites, zippers, pencils, toilet seats, gasoline, hot spaghetti, falling, straddling . . . the list of accidents goes on and on and on.

The US Consumer Product Safety Recalls Commission is supposed to protect the public from unreasonable risks of serious injury or death from thousands of types of products. You can find information on over 4,500 product recalls and recall alerts using the various searches on this page.

Recalled products are listed, and so is the reasoning behind the recalls, some of which will make you shake your head and mutter about The Nanny State Mentality.

The FDA Recall List covers what the CPSC doesn't, but it is a little harder to judge the accuracy of the reasoning behind their decisions. The related links on their page do lead to some interesting content.
