Defective Toys and Products

Often, we take for granted that toys and products geared towards children will be safe and pose no risk to their safety. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. According to the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC), there were an estimated 251,000 toy and child product-related injuries treated in U.S. emergency rooms in 2017 and companies who manufacture and distribute these items should be held responsible for the injuries and damages their items have caused.

We will handle your case quickly and advise you every step of the way, and we will not hesitate to go to trial for you. Lastly, 844 See Mike is not paid attorneys’ fees unless we win your case.

Products that Commonly Cause Injuries 

Children are prone to accidents and injuries due to their curious nature and the fact that they are still growing and developing. For this reason, toys and products made for children should be safe.

Some of the products that most commonly cause injuries to children due to defective design include the following:

• Cribs
• Car seats
• Strollers
• Sports equipment
• Playground equipment
• Trampolines
• Bicycle helmets
• Toys

Product Liability Lawsuits

Corporations have a responsibility to ensure that the products that they provide are safe and will not cause injuries or death according to the Code of Federal Regulations set out by the CPSC. Under strict liability in Illinois, the seller, manufacturer, or anyone else involved in the chain of distribution of a product may be responsible if a product injures someone. This can include missing or improperly labeled products, age inappropriate toys, and defective design or manufacturing. 

When these products injure a child, they have a right to receive compensation for their damages including medical bills, pain and suffering, diminished quality of life, emotional distress, and wrongful death, however each case will be unique, and so will be the amount of compensation a child may receive following a defective toy and product claim. Because product liability lawsuits can be difficult and confusing, a personal injury lawyer can help you to determine who may be liable for the injuries and damages your child sustained and help you to secure the compensation they deserve.

We will fight until the very end to ensure that you are fully compensated for all injuries and losses resulting from the accident, including medical expenses, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering, and you won’t owe us a dime for our services.
