Charleston Choking on Toys Lawyers

Young children, because they are still growing, are faced with a world of dangers that adults often take for granted. One of the primary sources of this size-specific danger is the narrowness of the airway which creates a heightened risk of choking. Because toddlers and infants are prone to putting things in their mouth, it is important for the makers of children’s toys and other childcare products to ensure that their goods do not have small parts that create an undue choking hazard. But in the rush to move ideas into the market, the minor details are sometimes missed, resulting in major injuries.

If your child has been hurt because of a toy maker’s negligence, we can help you to recover the financial compensation that you deserve to help cover the costs of medical treatment and other damages. Contact the Charleston choking on toys lawyers of the Steinberg Law Firm at 843-720-2800.

Choking Dangers

In a perfect world, toy companies would go the extra mile to be certain that their products posed no danger to your child. But the reality is that they simply do not and will not, preferring instead to recall hazardous items after the consequences of poor manufacturing and design have already struck unsuspecting children. Parents are unlikely to suspect that there is a risk if no warnings are printed on the packaging to advise that small parts are present and could result in choking. As such, it is imperative that these warnings are always included on any potentially harmful children’s product.

Important items to post warnings on include:

• Products with small screws that detach during normal use
• Marbles
• Balloons
• Action figure/doll accessories
• Board games
