subject: When a Toy Recall Hits Home [print this page] Mostly, a parent can improve safety by staying informed. Product recalls, especially smaller ones, are not always widely advertised. Be pro-active by regularly checking for recall postings on manufacturers' websites, as well as at the stores where you shop. If a product you have purchased has been recalled, these places can inform you how to return the product for an exchange or refund. However, if your child has been injured by a defective toy, relying on the manufacturer may not be your best option. While some companies may attempt to do the right thing if your child is injured due to their negligence, others may deny liability or attempt to hide the occurrence. In this case, you should consider consulting a Chicago personal injury attorney who will not only represent your child's best interest, but will make sure the product's defect is reported to the proper entities.
