Overviews commonly accepted product safety principles, and provides 54 case studies of accidents that involved bathtubs, staircases, commercial equipment, industrial equipment, and vehicles. The authors illustrate how to comply with product safety regulations, develop safe products, and implement safe manufacturing processes.
