abstract="This study investigated the automatic safety  release mechanisms on neck cords for children's cameras. The purpose of the  safety release mechanism is to reduce accidental strangulation associated with  children's toys that have neck cords. The horizontal pull forces that  activate the automatic safety release mechanism were measured for two different  styles of release mechanisms for neck cords. When these forces were compared to  forces associated with child strangulation, the automatic safety mechanisms  released at higher forces than the forces associated with accidental  strangulation or death, which is contrary to what was intended and creates a  false sense of security for parents who select a toy camera with such a  device.",
