fifteen thousand
different types of consumer products, including sports equipment and
products that claim to reduce injuries and increase safety," said CPSC
Chairman Ann Brown. "Parents need to know what options they have in
protective equipment so they can make the best decisions for their children
playing softball and baseball."
Nick Senter, executive director of the Dixie Baseball League, an
organization based in eleven Southern states, and Richard Bancells, trainer of
the Baltimore Oriole's baseball team, joined Chairman Brown for today's
announcement. |
CPSC collected and analyzed data on baseball, softball, and teeball-related deaths and injuries to children to determine exactly how these children were injured and what safety equipment could prevent such injuries. the Commission also studied voluntary safety standards and reviewed published scientific literature evaluating currently available protective equipment.
CPSC analyzed the eighty eight reports it received of baseball-related deaths of children between 1973 and 1995. It found that 68 of the deaths were caused by ball impact and 13 were caused by bat impact. Of the 68 ball impact deaths, 38 came from blows to the chest while 21 deaths were caused by a ball hitting a player's head.
