Gizmodo analyzed tech-related injuries that led to ER visits in 2023 using data from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) The database tracks ER visits at a representative sample of hospitals and documents their links to a wide range of consumer products.
We examined ER visits from the database in which patients attributed their injuries to several popular consumer technologies.
Tablets caused 36 percent fewer ER visits than laptops, according to the 2023 NEISS data.
More than 34 percent of laptop injuries were the result of computers falling on someone’s head or feet.
Tablets' larger size makes laptops less convenient and more dangerous to travel with.
