The goal of the human-centered design paradigm as applied to consumer products is to improve levels of user satisfaction, efficiency of use, increase comfort, and assure safety under normal use as well as foreseeable misuse of the product. It is in this context that we are very pleased to present the first volume of the Handbook of Human Factors and Ergonomics in Consumer Product Design. The motivation to produce this Handbook was to facilitate wider acceptance of HF/E as an effective body of knowledge for improving quality of life and safety for millions of users of consumer products with a variety of needs and expectations. In this Handbook, consumer products are defined as those goods used by the general public without any special training, skills, or supervision.
