Composite verdict
Composite Safety Score: 11/100
One verdict blending 3 independently-sourced dimensions from two separate CPSC systems, each benchmarked against all 838 scored product categories by percentile rather than raw value, so no single huge-volume category can dominate the scale.
| Dimension | Value | National percentile | Weight applied | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Injury severity (hospitalization + fatality blend) | 0 | 2nd | 41% | CPSC NEISS 20-year severity index |
| Annual ER injury volume | 674 | 28th | 35% | CPSC NEISS estimated annual ER-treated injuries |
| 5-year injury trend | N/A | N/A | redistributed | CPSC NEISS 5-year % change in ER-treated injuries |
| Consumer incident reports | 0 | 0th | 24% | CPSC SaferProducts.gov public incident report count |
5-year injury trend has no recorded value for this category; its weight was redistributed proportionally across the dimensions that do, rather than treated as zero risk.
Methodology: each dimension is ranked against the full population's p10/p25/p50/p75/p90 breakpoints and interpolated to a 0-100 percentile; the composite is the weighted average of available percentiles. See methodology for the full benchmark table.

How this 25/100 score is built
The score is computed from four CPSC-derived factors for ceramics supplies or equipment - no opinion, no editorializing:
- Injury volume 674 ER visits/yr Below median volume
- Severity (hospitalization rate) 0.3% Low admission rate
- Fatality rate 0.00% No recorded fatalities
- 5-year trendN/A
Band labels compare this category against the corpus of 838 scored CPSC product categories, see the full methodology for the exact weighting of each factor.
What the CPSC Data Shows
Across the 3-year NEISS window from 2005 to 2007, injury counts for ceramics supplies or equipment are stable over the most recent five-year window, with the busiest year on record being 2006 (754 estimated ER visits) and the quietest 2005 (544 estimated visits). The single most common ER diagnosis is laceration to the finger, accounting for approximately 393 visits across the 20-year NEISS window, followed by laceration to the foot (188 cases). The 25-34 age group absorbs the largest share of injuries, about 417 cases over the NEISS window, and females appear slightly more often than the opposite sex in that cohort. Severity outcomes from the NEISS disposition field show that 0.3% of ER visits involving this product end in hospital admission or transfer.
Beyond the hospital-sampled NEISS projections, this page also aggregates 0 consumer incident reports filed directly on SaferProducts.gov, plus 20 anonymized ER narratives - together forming a layered picture of how ceramics supplies or equipment fail in real households. Every figure on this page comes from CPSC-published data: NEISS projects national estimates from a probability sample of about 100 U.S. hospital emergency departments, while SaferProducts.gov collects voluntary reports from consumers, manufacturers, and clinicians. The danger score, trend indicators, and demographic breakdowns update automatically when CPSC releases a new yearly NEISS file, which is why this page is dated 2007-12-31.
