Figure 03 is 134 pounds. 1x NEO (the only one really designed for household usage) is 66 pounds. Unitree R1 is 55 pounds. None of these are ready for real work yet but probably at some point in the future we will have practical humanoids.

All of these are more than enough weight to kill a toddler by falling on them. That, of course, ignores all the other hazards presented by (presumably) titanium limbs attached to actuators able to exert enough force to crush any extremity you care to name.

The first person who has their child injured by one of these things will have a hell of a lawsuit on their hands.

A human on average weighs anywhere from ~110 - ~250 pounds (very broad guess). A human can also fall on and injure a child. And you can be sure that, similar to how bones are covered by layers of tissue and skin, robots designated for household use will be built with materials that improve safety during physical interaction. There isn't much difference.

Also the customer will very likely be asked to sign damage waivers and whatnot as part of the sale/rental agreement.
