We’re thrilled that the crowdSPRING community’s next Give Back project is for Kids In Danger<\/a> (KID).<\/p>\n

Kids In Danger is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting children by improving children’s product safety.<\/p>\n

The organization was founded in 1998 by University of Chicago professors Linda Ginzel and Boaz Keysar following the death of their son Danny<\/a> in an unsafe portable crib.<\/p>\n

KIDS’s mission is to promote development of safer children’s products, advocate for children, and educate the public (especially parents) about dangerous children’s products.<\/p>\n

You might wonder why KID’s mission is important.<\/p>\n

Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death<\/strong> among children.<\/p>\n

An estimated 66,400 children under age 5 were rushed to U.S. hostpital emergency rooms in 2006 for injuries associated with nursery products.<\/strong><\/p>\n

An average 81 children under age 5 die annually<\/strong> in incidents associated with nursery products.<\/p>\n

In calendar year 2007, the U.S. Consumer Product safety commission recalled children’s products, including nuersey items, toys and clothing, at a rate of almost 4 per week<\/strong>. This accounts for over 46 million recalled units<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

KID has received numerous awards and recognitions, including the 2010 Civil Justice Foundation Community Champion Award and a Presidential Service Award given by former President Bill Clinton.<\/p>\n
