consumer group is calling for US authorities to mandate “auto-reverse functions” on power windows, which can sense when the window hits an obstacle and immediately stop the window from closing.

research, conducted via phone and online surveys, was commissioned by KidsAndCars.org and administered by the research firm Harris Interactive.  It found that more than 13 million US adults have injured someone they know by closing a power window on them. It also found that 10 million people had been injured by a closing power window but did not seek medical assistance and were therefore not included in administration statistics.
