This report provides overall injury and death figures associated with Camping: equipment, heating, lighting, and cooking. The first information presented is a summary of the injury, death and cost data for the entire class of products. A trend graphic is presented which shows the frequency of estimated emergency room-treated injuries since 1997. This is followed by a chart showing the distribution of the injuries for this class of products by energy source of the hazard, i.e., mechanical, fire, electrical, chemical, or other. There is also a summary table, which shows the injuries, deaths, and costs associated with each product group. This overview is one of a series of hazard screening reports. Each report provides information in a similar format to allow product and hazard comparison, both within and among the reports. The views expressed in this report are those of CPSC staff, have not been reviewed or approved by, and may not necessarily reflect the views of, the Commission.
