As anyone with young children knows, straight-handled forks and spoons are difficult for little hands to grasp and use properly. The result is often frustration, accidents and discouragement for children as well as parents. Straight-handled forks and spoons can also be dangerous for children. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, in 2001 nearly 2,500 children under the age of 4 were treated in hospital emergency rooms for injuries resulting from straight-handled utensils.
While smaller forks and spoons for children do exist, these products are usually only smaller versions of adult-size straight-handled utensils and carry many of the same inherent problems and disadvantages for children.
