Pennsylvania Product Liability Attorney Encourages Consumers and Parents to Shop Safely During the Holiday Season
As an experienced Philadelphia product liability attorney, I am constantly reading about the latest product recalls and am aware of numerous safety defects with children’s toys and other products that often result in catastrophic injuries and fatalities. When shopping for children’s toys, it is important to consider detachable parts or sharp objects which could harm a child. To determine if a toy or product is safe or has been recalled, one can always visit the Consumer Product Safety website at www.cpsc.gov. If you are using a product that you deem to be unsafe, it is important to report the product to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Recently there was an extensive recall of children’s metal pendants featuring animations of cartoons under the names of “Bleach,” “Death Note,” “Naruto” and “One Piece.” These were sold at toy shops nationwide from November 2008 though March 2009 for between $3 and $4. The items were manufactured in China and according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, they contain high levels of lead which is toxic if ingested by young children.
