Defective Toys

Every few months there is a flurry of panic as the media reports that a popular children’s toy or childcare product has been found defective, usually after one unfortunate family faces a serious injury or tragic fatality. The sad truth is that many of these accidents could be prevented through a more thorough review of a product in the design phase, since more than two-thirds of product recalls are due to design defects.

There is nothing more terrifying than to find that your son or daughter has been hurt by something that is intended specifically for use by or for a child. The manufacturers of these goods have a responsibility to ensure that they do not expose children to undue risk.

Common Causes of Defective Childcare Products

Parents take great pains to choose only the safest childcare products and children’s toys. This may involve the solicitation of recommendations and reviews from friends and family members, or a reliance on the reviews and ratings available online. The Consumer Products Safety Commission issues recall notices, but by that point it may be too late to protect your child from harm.

Some common defective childcare product issues include:

• Lead Paint Poisoning
• Toxic Toys
• Choking Hazards
