From Fun Facts | Statistic Brain (who knows if they're true):

• More than 10 people a year are killed by a vending machine.
• More than 6,000 people with pillow-related injuries check into U.S. emergency rooms every year.
• Each year, more than 50,000 people are injured by jewelry in the U.S.

And this is from one of Bill Bryson's books:

Here's a fact for you. According to the latest "Abstract of the United States", every year more than 400,00 Americans suffer injuries involving beds,mattresses or pillows...That is more people than live in greater Coventry. That is almost 2,000 bed, mattress or pillow injuries a day. In the time it takes you to read this article, four Americans will somehow manage to be wounded by their bedding.
