Does anyone know of any consumer products design safety factor guidelines?

  1. I'm looking for a definitive source for consumer product design, (such
    items as seating) that might shed some light on guidelines used in
    industry for human use safety factors.

    http://www.sae.org may be a good place to start for looking into
    standards.

    One easy source is to just call insurance companies that do product
    liability insurance and start asking questions.

    Insurers are the LAST group you want to PO, if you expect to stay in
    business.

    You might check some texts on ergonomics, and look in the references
    and index for listed standards.
