Parents will go to great lengths to keep their children safe from harm, including providing proper supervision, "childproofing" their home, and teaching their children to avoid certain dangers. The toys that children play with may pose a threat to kids if they are defective, faulty, or inappropriate for certain ages. For example, a parent would not want an infant playing with a toy that is designed for ages 6 and up because its small pieces are a choking hazard. Unfortunately, many innocent children are the victims of serious injuries and fatalities resulting from dangerous toys.
If a child is seriously injured as the result of a dangerous or defective toy, the injury would constitute "product liability," and legal representation should be acquired immediately to ensure that your child's legal rights are protected. The following are three examples of negligence which may result in product liability lawsuits:
- Design defect - The design of the product makes it defective and dangerous, even if the product is manufactured properly.
- Manufacturer defect - The product was not manufactured to the design specifications, making the product defective and dangerous.
- Failure to warn of danger - The product is not properly labeled to warn consumers about the potential danger and risk of injury resulting from its use.
The following factors are most commonly the cause of a toy being deemed as defective and dangerous, causing serious harm to the child who plays with it:
- Toy may be made of flammable materials
- Toy with long strings may cause strangulation
- Toy may contain lead causing lead poisoning
- Toy may contain small pieces causing a choking hazard
- Toy may have sharp edges causing lacerations
