Composite verdict
Composite Safety Score: 17/100
One verdict blending 4 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) | 4 | 29th | 35% | CPSC NEISS 20-year severity index |
| Annual ER injury volume | 47 | 4th | 30% | CPSC NEISS estimated annual ER-treated injuries |
| 5-year injury trend | -37% | 14th | 15% | CPSC NEISS 5-year % change in ER-treated injuries |
| Consumer incident reports | 1 | 18th | 20% | CPSC SaferProducts.gov public incident report count |
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 21/100 score is built
The score is computed from four CPSC-derived factors for toy make-up kits or cosmetics - no opinion, no editorializing:
- Injury volume 47 ER visits/yr Low volume
- Severity (hospitalization rate) 3.5% Below median admission rate
- Fatality rate 0.00% No recorded fatalities
- 5-year trend-37%

What the CPSC Data Shows
Across the 16-year NEISS window from 2007 to 2022, injury counts for toy make-up kits or cosmetics are declining by about 37% over the last five years, with the busiest year on record being 2019 (110 estimated ER visits) and the quietest 2017 (5 estimated visits). The single most common ER diagnosis is derma/conjunct to the face, accounting for approximately 100 visits across the 20-year NEISS window, followed by other to the face (96 cases). The 5-14 age group absorbs the largest share of injuries, about 302 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 3.5% of ER visits involving this product end in hospital admission or transfer.
Beyond the hospital-sampled NEISS projections, this page also aggregates 1 consumer incident report filed directly on SaferProducts.gov, plus 18 anonymized ER narratives - together forming a layered picture of how toy make-up kits or cosmetics 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 2022-12-31.

To Whom It May Concern: Please be advised that product number 719585354328, manufactured by Townley Girl @ www.townleygirl.com, currently being sold at Walmart, is extremely unsafe and should probably be recalled. I purchased two of these "Disney Junior Minnie Cosmetics Sets" yesterday, Thursday, February 18, 2016, from a Walmart Supercenter in Germantown, MD. They appear to be new items, as they were in the front of the store with all of the Easter baskets, candy, and toys, etc. All of the little dress up things are really cute, but the nail polish turned out to be dangerous. When one of my girls attempted to open it, the bottle cracked (see photos) and cut her finger very deeply leaving her bleeding profusely. We wound up in the ER and she had to get three stitches. Further, it was discovered that my other daughter's nail polish bottle was already cracked before it was even taken out of the box. Today, I went to the Walmart and showed the assistant manager the broken nail polish bottle and explained what happened. I also advised him of the other similar products that were still on the shelf and told him they should be removed. However, because my girls love the other items I did not request a refund. Nevertheless, the hair bows have a very rough clip that pulls the hair and could possibly scratch or scrape the skin. Upon noticing that this product is made in China, I am not surprised. Yet, it was mostly when I lived in India that many of the products made in China were defective and unsafe. It is a surprise to have purchased a product at Walmart, with the Disney name on it, that caused such harm to my daughter. I am very thankful that my other daughter did not touch or try to open the polish in her set as I am sure she would have needed some medical attention as well. Thankfully, I did not have to pay for the ER visit. Otherwise, I would definitely be seeking compensation for the same as the seller and manufacturer of this product should be held res
