Toy Safety and Child Injuries
When we were young, we didn’t know that many of the toys we were playing with were extremely dangerous. Even today as parents, we sometimes don’t know about dangers of toys because of deceptive marketing strategies that make a product “seem” safe for children, when in truth it cannot be used safely by a child. What’s worse, many times unsuspecting parents allow not only their children, but the children of others visiting with them, to handle unsafe products with no knowledge of the danger these toys may be hiding.
In recent years, the manufacture of virtually everything from toy cars to transistor radios, baby dolls to pretend kitchen appliances, have been outsourced to foreign countries, slickly marketed by Madison Ave., and sold to parents with an implicit promise that the toys are safe for use by children.
But we now know better. The quality assurance process in many of these manufacturing plants have exposed our children to deadly chemicals, lead paint, fire hazards, choking hazards, and more.
If your child has been injured by a defective toy, the Raleigh, NC Law Office of D.

We have represented many children and families bearing the weight of tragedy caused by a defective toy design or manufacturing process. Some of the matters we’ve handled include:
- Choking hazards from defectively designed toy building.
- Lead paint exposure from toys.
- Deceptively marketed ride-on toys.
- Crib structural instability and collapse.
- Booster seat instability and fall hazard.
- Defective battery design causing fire hazard.
In every case where a child has been injured, we ask ourselves the same question many parents ask: “how could I have known?” If the answer is that you couldn’t because the manufacturer concealed the risk of injury from you, there is no way to have prevented the injury and you shouldn’t be forced to bear all of the burden on your own.
If your child, or the child of a loved one, has been injured because of an unsafe toy, call a Toy Safety Lawyer at the Raleigh, NC Law Office of D. Hardison Wood for a free initial consultation. 1-877-829-7211.
