Dangerous Toys
Each year, thousands of new and different toys are released to stores around the country. While many of these products have been adequately tested and are safe for children to use as intended, some may be inherently dangerous, especially for young children. When toys are improperly designed or manufactured, they can present an injury risk to children who are unaware of the hazard.
If your child has been harmed by a dangerous toy, you may have legal grounds to pursue a lawsuit for compensation. Contact the Harrisburg personal injury lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., at 610-667-7511 to discuss your case with a skilled and experienced lawyer today.
Toy Hazards
A toy can be hazardous to children if the design is flawed, unsafe materials are used in manufacturing, or the manufacturing process goes awry. These errors may occur with or without the manufacturer’s knowledge, causing a dangerous toy to be released to stores for sale. Some of the risks that a dangerous toy can pose to children include:
- Choking hazard
- Lead paint poisoning risk
- Pinching or laceration hazard
- Electric shock dangers
If your child has been injured by a defective or dangerous toy, it is advisable to consult with a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. The manufacturer or toy designer may be responsible for the defect that caused your child’s injuries and you may be able to pursue financial compensation on your child’s behalf. Our child injury attorneys are prepared to represent your case to fight for the payment that you may deserve, including compensation for medical bills, lost income from time off of work, recovery costs, and pain and suffering.
