A camera however isn't aimed at being used by children. However part of Sugru's marketing is that it can make a camera child-safe; with the implication that it can be used by children. This potentially makes them liable, while a normal camera manufacture probably isn't.

As for the medical tubing, I agree that is what I would probably choose, but again it's that through their marketing of 'safe for medical tubing' when it hasn't undergone any applicable safety tests; they have potentially made themselves liable should anything go wrong.

It comes down to the fact that if they've marketed it as suitable for such-and-such then they should make sure they've undergone any safety tests that other products use in similar situations.



"A camera however isn't aimed at being used by children"

Many cameras are aimed at children.

etc.


Sure some are, I was generalising. Those that are aimed at children will have undergone appropriate safety testing before going to market.
