Abstract

manufacturer had to withdraw its retractable dog leashes after a recoil injury caused partial blindness in a 13-yearold girl. 4 Subsequently manufacturers have advised securing the dog leash with a secondary security collar. 5 Although this may appear to be an inconvenient second step, the benefits far outweigh the risk of permanent sight loss. It is also important to choose a type of leash that is adjusted to the size, weight, and force of the animal. When using leashes without the secondary security collar, eye protection is strongly recommended.
