"You thought avocados were dangerous - turns out pumpkin and onion are the most injury inducing vegetables in New Zealand kitchens. Nearly $100,000 was claimed for 361 pumpkin-related injuries in 2016, according to ACC, more than double the 162 "avohand" incidents which cost them $70,000. There's no doubt avocado is an increasingly worrisome ingredient, but the humble onion is the second most mentioned vege - accounting for 282 claims, costing $41,000."
