Three Dangerous Toys that May have Harmed Philadelphia Children
Around the holidays or any time of year, parents and caretakers should always bear in mind that not all children’s toys are created equal, or safe for that matter. In fact, some toys can be extremely dangerous for children. Throughout the years several toys have been allowed for sale and were later proven to cause injury or harm to children. The following is just a small sample of such toys.
Hasbro’s Easy Bake Oven
Although Hasbro has recently changed the make-up of their latest Easy Bake Oven Model, the company received several reports of burnt and injured hands and fingers as a result of the toy between 2005 and 2006. The model with the dangerous hot light bulb is no longer sold.
The Kite Tube
This toy was actually a ten foot round water tube that was indented to be dragged behind a boat allowing light riders to become airborne during a fast boat ride. This dangerous toy also easily jerked around and smashed victim’s face first into the water. After 29 reports of injury surrounding this toy, it has been recalled.
Aquadots
It’s hard to believe this dangerous was sold just a few years ago in 2007. It was recalled after the date rape drug GHB was found inside the product. Doctors of children who put small parts from this toy inside their mouth reported slow breathing, heart rate, and injury.
If you have any of these dangerous recalled toys in your home, it is important for you to discard them immediately to prevent future injury. If your child has become injured by a defective or dangerous toy, or has become the victim of an accident in Philadelphia or anywhere in Pennsylvania or New Jersey, you should consult with an experienced injury attorney as soon as possible.
