Testing and Evaluation of Baby Walkers Based on Product Injury Data

Abstract:

The injury characteristics of baby walkers were analyzed based on injury data about baby walkers from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) of U.S. and the National Injury Related Products Surveillance System (NISS) of China. The main causes for the baby walkers injuries were identified by testing and evaluation, including insufficient anti-collision space, low designed static and dynamic strength, substandard outsourced casters and the processing technique not in conformity with the requirements for accessible parts. Such suggestions were put forward as increasing the anti-collision space, enhancing the strength of structural materials, performing stricter acceptance check for the outsourced casters and confirming the process inspection of semi-finished products.
