Charleston Dangerous Toy Lawyer

In recent years, there has been a surge of public awareness about the potential dangers of children’s toys. This is largely due to the discovery that a seemingly endless array of toys and accessories designed for use by children were imported from China and contained unsafe levels of lead in their paint. Certainly, this has proven to be a widespread problem worthy of more careful consideration by the agencies responsible for protecting consumer safety, but the reality is that children’s toys have always come with some degree of risk.

There are some defects that are the fault of poor design and there are others that occur in the manufacturing process. But the end result of either is that an innocent child will sustain an injury that could have been prevented and may be deadly. In such an accident, where dangerous toys are responsible for a child’s injury, the law provides avenues for seeking a legal resolution to the matter in the form of a civil case and possibly financial compensation where appropriate.

Two of the most serious and prevailing dangers to children when a toy is involved are:

• Lead paint poisoning
• Choking hazard

In either case, the manufacturer or company that designed the dangerous toy may be held legally liable for their negligent endangerment of your children and other consumers. If you have encountered the tragedy of a dangerous toy, it may be in your best interest to speak with an experienced attorney.
