Scores and counts are computed live from PlainSafety's NEISS-derived tables; see methodology for the danger-score formula.

The preventability score weighs how often injuries involve misuse versus inherent product hazards. See our methodology for the formula and its limits.

How to use the risk scorer

Score a product, then act on the parts you control, severity and preventability matter more than raw volume.

  • Compare two products you are choosing between, the higher danger score is the higher-risk category, all else equal. Full rankings
  • Filter by the age group in your household to see what share of injuries hit that demographic. Child safety guide
  • Before buying or keeping a specific model, check it against open CPSC recalls. CPSC recalls

The preventability score is an estimate derived from hospitalization rate, fatality rate, and trend, it is a planning aid, not medical or legal advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the injury rate calculated? ▼
The injury rate is based on CPSC NEISS (National Electronic Injury Surveillance System) data. NEISS collects injury reports from a nationally representative sample of hospital emergency departments and uses statistical weights to estimate national injury counts.
What does the preventability score mean? ▼
The preventability score (10-95) estimates how preventable injuries from a product category are. Higher scores mean injuries are more likely avoidable through safety measures, proper use, or supervision. It factors in hospitalization rate, fatality rate, and whether injury trends are improving.
How are risk levels determined? ▼
Risk levels (Low, Moderate, High, Very High) are computed from a composite danger score (1-100) that weighs annual injury volume, hospitalization rate, fatality rate, severity index, and 5-year trend direction.
Can I filter results by age group? ▼
Yes. Select an optional age group to see what share of injuries for that product category affect that demographic. Age groups follow NEISS categories: 0-4, 5-14, 15-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, 65-74, and 75+.
What is the data source? ▼
All data comes from the CPSC National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS), covering 2005-2024. NEISS tracks product-related injuries treated in U.S. hospital emergency departments. Consumer reports come from SaferProducts.gov.

Data: CPSC NEISS 2005-2024, SaferProducts.gov consumer reports. Injury estimates are nationally projected from a representative sample of U.S. hospital emergency departments.
