When a Toy Is Dangerous to Your Child ...
If you bought a toy and then discovered that it was dangerous, that toy is now useless and worthless. Your child cannot use it, and you certainly would not want another child to have it. If the retailer will not return your money, what can you do?
ClassAction.com: Fighting for Safe Toys
You could ask a lawyer to take a toy manufacturer and retailer to court, but that would cost a great deal more money than you paid for the toy. The answer may be a class action lawsuit that will get the toy off the market and compensate the people who bought the toy.
- Unsafe design, unsafe materials: A toy with sharp edges or lead content or other toxic content is obviously unsafe. For toddlers, small parts that can be ingested are unsafe. Toys designed without concern for child safety should be removed from the market the moment the retailer hears of an injury to a child.
- Accountability: By holding retailers and manufacturers accountable for unsafe toys, they may be more careful with the next design and the next choice of materials. Class action lawsuits are effective ways to tell those responsible that unsafe toys are going to cost them a lot of money.
