Shopping cart injuries in children
Shopping cart related accidents involving children are extremely common and can result in severe injury or even death. Because of the high number of injuries, voluntary shopping cart safety standards were introduced in the United States in 2004. Unfortunately, research shows that such standards have done little good when it comes to protecting children; in fact, the injury rate has continued to climb.
Mom warns parents after shopping cart fall results in $12k hospital bill
Brooke Lehman posted the video on her social media platforms, and it amassed more than 1 million views on TikTok alone. In a video she shared in late July 2021, Lehman explained that her child fractured her skull after falling out of a shopping cart and urged parents to be cautious and to strap their children in when they are seated in the cart.
Doctors say carts can be a danger to children / pediatricians blame design, urge parents not to put kids in them.
“Parents are strongly encouraged to seek alternatives,” says the American Academy of Pediatrics, which reports that shopping carts were involved in injuries to more than 24,000 children last year, mostly when a child fell out or a cart tipped over.
Shopping cart danger: 66 kids hurt a day, study finds
The combination of kids and shopping carts is never easy, as any parent of a squirmy toddler knows, but a new study confirms it’s also dangerous, with an estimated 66 children a day in the US hurt in falls and spills.
Shopping cart safety
Parents take their children with them on shopping trips every day. However, it is difficult to look at the shelves and closely watch a child at the same time, and thousands of children are injured every year from riding in shopping carts. Injuries can and do happen in the time it takes for you to reach for something on the shelf. Knowing the risks and following shopping cart safety tips can help to prevent injuries while at the store.
