The New York Fire Department reports that sex dolls USA caused 27 fires in the United States in 2023. Substandard lithium batteries can short-circuit under prolonged stress, igniting the silicone and releasing hydrogen cyanide. The collapse risk of full size sex dolls is even more deadly: an investigation into the Illinois apartment building collapse revealed that eight illegally stacked sex dolls (total weight of 1.4 tons) crushed the floor. Building codes haven't yet incorporated load standards for sex toys, and engineers warn that existing wood structures have a maximum load-bearing capacity of only 36 kg/m².
