The National Safety Council estimates that 300,000 injuries are caused by doors every year. Consumer Product Safety Commission statistics for the last available year cite 44,676 injuries to fingers, hands, and wrists of children under 14. It is estimated that 15,000 amputations result from door injuries each year.

A closing door can exert up to 40 tons per square inch of pressure between the hinges. Two recent lawsuits for amputations of a finger resulted in settlements of $725,000 and $600,000 respectively.
The Fingershield devices have prevented thousands of young people from suffering the pain and distress caused by a finger-trapping accident. This type of accident, which has already prevented many children from pursuing their chosen careers/hobbies, is now 100% preventable.
