Abstract
The purpose of this study is to clarify the actual situation of product accidents caused by
consumers, and to discuss the contents of consumer product safety education. In this study, product accidents reported from 2007 to 2014 are analyzed, and the data leads to the conclusion that consumer product safety education must include several components. These necessary components are: learning knowledge of science related to accident risks, ways to report an accident, recall information access, information about routine inspections, and how to purchase safe products. Consumer product safety education should be given not only at home but also at school so that all children can have access to this information.
