The manufacturer of “Troy the Activity Truck” has issued a defective product recall for the toys due to a potential choking hazard. According to an ABC 15 news report, Infantino LLC issued the voluntary recall after there were 28 reports of plastic beads detaching from the truck. So far there have been two reports of young children gagging on the plastic beads. These potentially dangerous toy trucks are sold nationwide in stores such as Babies R Us and Toys R Us. The toy company is offering replacement toys to anyone who has purchased the defective product.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) regulates the sale of many types of products. When enough complaints are filed about a product, the federal product safety agency may conduct an investigation and recommend a recall depending on the outcome of the investigation. Parents would be well advised to keep up with reports on the products they buy for their children because recalls are typically only issued after a number of children have been injured.
After an Arizona defective product injury accident occurs, injured victims would be well advised to seek immediate medical attention. If your child has been injured by a defective toy, please remember that you do have legal rights. Injured victims in such cases can file a products liability lawsuit against the manufacturer of the defective product. Manufacturers are obligated to consumers to provide goods that are safe to use. If consumers are hurt while using a product the way it was intended to be used, then, the manufacturer can be held civilly liable for those injuries and losses.
