Even toys that are not considered defective (i.e., toys that work in a manner consistent with what they were designed to do) can cause injury. However, parents should be aware of some common toy defects, including the use of paint containing lead, small parts that are easily removed by young children, and substances that are flammable. Defective toys can cause any number of serious injuries, including burn injury and wrongful death. Additionally, toys may present choking, fire, strangulation, and laceration hazards. If your child has been injured while playing with a defective toy, it is important to consult with a toy injury lawyer to determine whether you’re entitled to compensation. |
