While I had not heard of issues with with children and glass tops I just knew she would crawl on top of the table.
In the paper, many of the injuries are said to have occurred with children jumping from other furniture onto the tabletop.

Considering the source, medical personnel, it's highly unlikely thatvthey bothered to check:

· Consumer Products Safety Commission Regulations...along with the lengthy data which formed the basis for the rules.

Among the statistics of glass door "accident injuries" the preponderance were due to staggering drunks. The published nationwide statistics regarding Florida or glass jalousie door slats found only two incidents involving injuries; 1 drunk, and one small child who only required a few stiches in her hand. Nonetheless, the glass had to be changed to fully tempered or laminated safety glass.

One has to drill through the details to find the bureaucratic devils hidden there.

50 years ago, I broke a "glass door" by walking into it. I wasn't drunk, but I wasn't injured either.

When I struck the "door". I stepped back half a step, startled, as the glass fell down. It was actually a door sized window, right next to the actual door.

I paid for it.

It was a character forming experience.

I could have walked away.

It appears the glass tabletop standard is a voluntary one.
