The Consumer Federation of America, a research group for public interest reports that female children are more likely to be injured while on the playground. Furthermore, the study of injury trends links facial injuries to younger children, usually under age five, with injuries to the hands and arms being more typical of children from ages five to fourteen (Safe Kids Worldwide, 2010). 

Every year, the Consumer Federation of America (CFA) and the North American Consumer Protection Investigators (NACPI) collects and analyzes consumer complaints gathered from local agencies, to better understand macro-level consumer trends. In July 2012, feedback from thirty agencies from across the United States ranked the construction industry as number three for complaints of shoddy work, failure to start or complete the job (CFA 2012).
