Safest cameras & accessories, ranked

7 brands ranked by a transparent safety score: CPSC recall history (weighted by severity and recency) balanced against safety certifications. This ranks brands by safety record, not product quality — and a recall isn't proof a brand is unsafe, nor is its absence proof it's safe.

Ranking combines public CPSC recall data with curated certification listings. The score is a safety signal, not a guarantee, and reflects brand-level (not model-level) data. Confirm current recall and certification status before buying. Some links are affiliate links — see our disclosure.
