Unintentional injury is the leading cause of death for young children in the United States (U.S.) and is responsible for more child deaths than the next three causes combined, that is, homicide, suicide and cancer. Each year approximately 9,000 children die, 250,000 are hospitalized and more than 9,000,000 children are treated in emergency departments for preventable injuries (at a cost of around $87 billion in medical and societal costs). Child and adolescent unintentional injury deaths have not declined to the same extent as other diseases have, and resources directed at reducing child injury are not commensurate with the burden it poses. More than 50% of these injuries occur in and around the home, where young children spend most of their time. Common causes of fatal and non-fatal unintentional childhood injuries include: fires and burns, falls, drowning, poisoning, and suffocation. For example, residential fires account for nearly 90 percent of all fire-related deaths. Almost 13,000 children are injured by TV tip-overs each year. Medications are the leading causes of child poisoning. Finally, other home hazards include bunk beds, high chairs, windows, stoves and ovens, button batteries, laundry packets, and toys—ubiquitous products and home features present in nearly every U.S. home.
