Children love to play with toys, which is great because toys can be wonderful learning tools when in the hands of developing youngsters. With this in mind, it is very important that the toys children play with are age and developmentally appropriate, and free of any hazards or possible dangers. Sadly, many innocent kids suffer from serious and even fatal injuries due to dangerous toys.

Listed below are some toy hazards that may cause young children to suffer from very dangerous and painful injuries:

• Flammable materials were used to make the toy
• The toy contains long strings or rope, which may cause strangulation
• Toy may contain lead based paint which may cause lead poisoning
• The toy has small pieces, which may cause a choking hazard
• The toy has sharp or broken edges, which may result in cuts or scratches
• Inaccurate warning label
• Toys that make extremely loud noise, which may damage hearing

These, and other toy related hazards, may result in numerous physical injuries, such as burns, lacerations, bone fractures, disfigurement, paralysis, head injury, and blindness. As a result of defective toy injuries, your child may have to undergo a variety of medical procedures to ease the pain and repair his or her body. It is very difficult for a parent to see their child suffer, and you have the right to hold the negligent party responsible for the injuries that their product has caused your child.

Any injury which is caused by a dangerous, defective, or recalled toy is considered a product liability, which falls under the category of personal injury law. Product liability law is a complex area, in which a person is injured due to a design defect, failure to warn of danger, or manufacturing defect.
