Defective Children’s Product – Miami Product Liability Lawyer: Sean M Cleary

Defective Children’s Product Injuries

Approximately 5000 new toys are released on the US market each year, but not all are safe for children. Nearly 217,000 children visit hospital emergency rooms for toy-related injuries each year, as per the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

Parents rightfully expect that the products bought for their children are safe and function as advertised. When the products fail, it can lead to unwanted consequences such as severe injuries and sometimes death. A product is considered defective if it has a dangerous design, is negligently assembled, and has no warning labels. Some of the products commonly found defective include:

• Cradles
• Cribs
• Car seats
• Beds
• Baby bathtubs
• Playpens
• Changing tables
• Highchairs
• Feeding bottles
• Walkers
• Toys
• Playground equipment
• Trampolines

Here is a list of common injuries caused by defective children’s products:

• Brain damage
• Burns
• Asphyxiation
• Choking
• Strangulation
• Suffocation
• Bone fracture
• Bruises, cuts, scrapes
• Head entrapment
• Poisoning
• Spinal cord injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Hearing loss
• Vision loss
• Drowning

Filing a Claim Against Manufacturers of Defective Children's Products

If your child has been harmed due to a product defect, then there are three potential claims you will be eligible for, including:

• Product liability: If a product is defective because of faulty design, workmanship, or lack of warnings/instructions, its manufacturers can be liable for the harm or death caused.
• Breach of warranty: If the manufacturer’s promises about the safety of a product is untrue, then we can file this type of claim.
• Personal injury: If the manufacturers of children’s products fail to meet the regulations and standards or are negligent, then we can file this type of claim against them.

In case of the tragic death of your child due to the use of a defective product, wrongful death claims can be filed.
