Anyone injured by a dangerous, defective or unsafe product may be able to recover compensation for their injuries. If you were injured by a consumer product, you are entitled to seek compensation for your injuries from the manufacturer of that product and from the business establishment that sold you the product.
It is important to contact an experienced product liability lawyer as soon as possible. Product liability claims can be complex and they typically require skilled investigative work. Product liability claims are also time sensitive; in Ohio, for example, they must be filed within two years from the date on which the injury occurred.
Lead in Toys
Lead in toys is a hot topic. Despite a flurry of well-publicized product recalls, many children's products containing lead remain on store shelves, according to the Ecology Center, a reputable environmental organization based in Michigan. Test results released by the organization in late 2007 showed:
- 35 percent of 1,268 children's products tested contained lead
- 17 percent contained lead exceeding government standards
- 5 products contained levels of lead 2-10 times the allowable limits
— My Pasture Play Set: Monkey
— Hannah Montana card game pack
— Bath squirt toy from Target
— Circo shoes from Target
— Tyrell Katz vinyl backpack - 38 percent of children's jewelry contained lead, most of it exceeding government standards
