Houston Choking Hazard Attorneys
As most parents know, things rarely go exactly as planned when it comes to raising children. While parents may try their best to protect their kids from potential dangers, guarding children from themselves is also a major priority. As children play with their toys, the idea of restraint or trying not to break an action figure or a doll may not necessarily come to mind for a younger child. As children often place objects into their mouth, small toy parts present a serious safety hazard for kids.
If your child has been injured in a choking accident, contact the Houston choking hazard attorneys of Williams Kherkher at 832-369-8296 to learn more about your legal rights and options.
Toy Choking Hazards
Although there are many products that can cause choking problems for younger children, these products are obligated to come with clearly stated warning labels giving parents a safe age for use. Failure to do so puts parents in a position in which they cannot be necessarily certain whether their children are safe with a particular product or not. The following products, in general, should be avoided by younger children:
- Balloons that are not fully inflated
- Marbles and other small ball-shaped objects
- Breakable or removable parts from toys
- Plastic bags or other packaging materials
These parts should not be included in toys or products that are meant to be used by small children, who may accidentally swallow them.
