Common Examples of Defective Toys or Children’s Products
Regardless of a product got made in a defective manner, the purpose and design of a product for children such as a toy could be dangerous to children. Many times, manufacturers fail to consider product dangers before selling products.
This especially applies to latent defects, which are issues hidden in products and aren’t discovered during routine inspections.
Defects like these usually aren’t discovered before products are sold. Examples of products for children which could be defective and dangerous include:
- Flammable or dangerous clothing for children
- Faulty strollers and child car seats
- Unsafe toys with sharp edges, small parts which can present choking hazards, or long ropes or strings which can lead to strangulation
- Defective toddler beds, baby beds, bassinets and cribs
- Toys which may be used as weapons
- Toys which absorb water and expand, creating possible choking hazards
Most of these products have defects because children who use them don’t notice dangers inherent in them or the products’ warning labels, seeing the products as toys. Not all products for children should be used as toys.
Parents commonly miss dangers linked with children’s products or toys until injuries happen. Defective products for children are some of the most common defective products.
There is a higher risk regarding product defects and children because children aren’t able to recognize defects or possible severe injuries which can occur due to the products they are playing with or using.
