Tiny Users, Big Lessons: Human Factors Insights for Juvenile Product Safety
Speakers
Christian Hoyos
Product liability claims involving juvenile products raise unique questions because safety must be evaluated in the context of children, their developmental capabilities, and the environments in which these products are used.
Join Dr. Christian Hoyos, a leading expert in human factors and child product safety, for this session of Secretariat’s Human Factors webinar series, which will examine how human factors principles are applied in child product litigation. Through examples, this session will provide a framework for evaluating allegations involving design, warnings, instructions, and causation.
During this session, attendees will explore:
- How age-related child development and behavior shape the evaluation of product safety, including how children perceive and interact with products.
- How caregivers perceive and respond to risk, including their understanding of warnings and instructions and their expectations regarding product safety.
- How foreseeable use and misuse, and patterns of real-world product use, inform assessments of warning adequacy and whether a product appropriately addressed foreseeable child safety considerations.
Dr. Christian Hoyos will draw on human factors research and real-world examples to help attendees understand how child behavior, caregiver decision-making, and product use contexts inform the evaluation of product liability claims.
