National WEIGHTED estimate of consumer-product-related emergency-department injuries from CPSC’s NEISS surveillance system — “how many people were injured by X”, “ER visits from Y last year”. Pass either an exact 4-digit product_code (see neiss_product_codes) or a free-text product name to resolve. Returns the national estimate (NOT a raw case count — NEISS samples ~100 hospitals and CPSC’s own estimate is the sum of each sampled case’s statistical weight) plus the underlying sample size. Estimates built from fewer than ~20 sampled cases are flagged unstable per CPSC convention and should not be quoted as precise. Optionally narrow by age_range. Covers emergency-department-treated injuries only, not deaths, hospitalizations elsewhere, or injuries that did not reach an ED.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`product_code`	string	no	Exact 4-digit CPSC NEISS product code, e.g. “1842”. Leading zeros optional.
`product`	string	no	Free-text product name instead of a code, e.g. “stairs”, “swimming pools”. Matched case-insensitively against NEISS product titles; ambiguous matches return candidates instead of a number.
`year`	number	no	A single calendar year, e.g. 2024. Default: the most recent year loaded (the response says which).
`from_year`	number	no	Start of a year range instead of a single year (inclusive).
`to_year`	number	no	End of a year range (inclusive). Requires from_year.
`age_range`	string	no	Patient age bucket at time of injury. Default “all” (every age, including unknown).
