IJERPH, Vol. 15, Pages 2077: Monitoring Injuries Associated with Mandated Children ’s Products in Australia: What Can the Data Tell Us?

This study highlights significant limitations in injury surveillance data for identification and monitoring of child product-related injuries. This in turn limits the evidence base to assess the efficacy of existing regulations. Available data show baby walkers, cots, prams, nightwear, and bunk beds to be associated with a considerable number of child hospital presentations, admissions, and deaths. A significant scope for improvement in current product injury recording practices in the health sector exists.
