The difference there is that the glow stick is a toy for children, whereas 
steak knives are usually regarded as... not for small children.  Since very 
young children try to put just about anything in their mouths, it's important 
to know that the toys you give them won't get stuck in there.   For products 
aimed at adults, the real problem lies with people filing frivolous lawsuits 
after injuring themselves while using a product in an unwise manner 
(chainsaws, coffee, etc.).
