The majority of strangulation incidents occur in a young child's home. For example, common household items that pose strangulation dangers are clothing drawstrings, pacifier strings, window blind, and drapery cords. Additionally, openings that fits a small child's body is too small for his or her head, can lead to entrapment and strangulation, such as bunk beds, cribs, playground equipment, and baby strollers. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued voluntary safety guidelines for manufacturer's to follow regarding the production of drawstrings on children's clothing, to prevent strangulation in the neck and waist drawstrings of upper outerwear garments, such as jackets and sweatshirts. Manufacturer's and retailers of such products have a duty to exercise reasonable care in producing their products in a safe manner in order to prevent injury or death to a child. For example, if a child dies suddenly due being entangled and strangled by a drapery cord, the manufacturer of the drapery cord may be held liable for the tragedy.
