...testimony reads like a surrealistic nightmare: cribs that strangle, glass doors that shatter and become makeshift guillotines, high-handlebar bicycles that break cheekbones, hot-water vaporizers that scald, power mowers that clip off fingers and toes, wringer washing machines that crush the young and unwary. But the gruesome catalogue is no dream; it is compiled from accounts of common product hazards listed in a study released last week by the National Commission on Product Safety.

In the first six weeks of the season, A.L. batters hit at a .253 clip, a 13-point increase over the same period last year.
