Dangerous Toys
Was Your Child Injured by a Defective Toy?
Nothing better illustrates corporate callousness, greed and disregard for public safety than dangerous and defective toys. There are few things more sinister than a child's toy that causes serious harm to innocent children.
Putting Profits Over People
When companies put profits over the safety of our children, families need to take a stand. At the Law Offices of Gary Martin Hays & Associates, our attorneys stand up for the rights of families throughout Georgia whose children have been injured by all kinds of dangerous and defective toys, including those that caused injury because of:
- Lead: Lead can cause serious permanent injury to children, including a decrease in intellectual development.
- Strangulation hazard: Toys with straps, cords or laces can wrap around a child's neck and cause strangulation. Stretchy cords are especially dangerous.
- Choking hazard: Young children will put anything in their mouths. Jewelry, toys with small pieces and toys with parts that can easily be broken off pose a significant choking hazard.
- Hearing hazard: Extremely loud toys can damage a young child's hearing.
- Improper labeling: Was the toy that injured your child labeled for use by an appropriate aged child? Were proper warnings included on the toy and/or its packaging? For example, small balls and marbles must warn that the toy presents a choking hazard.
- Laceration hazard: Sharp edges, points and corners can cause severe cuts.
- Burn hazard: Is the toy made of a flammable or explosive material?
There are innumerable ways in which toys could harm a child; it is the product manufacturer's job to ensure that does not happen. However, no matter who caused the product defect, every organization involved in the manufacture, distribution and sale of a defective toy can be held liable for the damages it causes.
At the Law Offices of Gary Martin Hays & Associates, we work to maximize the financial recovery you receive for the damages your child and your family have suffered.
