"We commissioned this study after learning how many biscuit related injuries are treated by doctors each year."
Accidents have included people poking themselves in the eye with a biscuit, falling off a chair while reaching for the tin, sustaining burns after dunking a biscuit in scalding tea, and being hit by fragments flying through the air.
Other people have reported choking on crumbs and damaging a tooth or filling on a particularly hard biscuit.
One unlucky person ended up stuck in wet concrete after wading in to pick up a stray biscuit.
