  The risks of Unintentional Suffocation injuries in the U.S. must be
reconsidered in view of the existent mortality and morbidity statistics. In
particular, fatal injuries due to the Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome
[SUIDS] should be treated on their own and separated from this group. Because
of a non-appropriate nomenclature, the risks of injuries due to Aspiration
and/or Ingestion of Foreign Bodies have been overestimated in the recent
decades, and should be reconsidered by a factual scrutiny of the statistical
data.
