CHILDREN KILLED BY WINDOW COVERS AND BLINDS; MILLIONS OF BLINDS RECALLED—CALL PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS TODAY
Product liability lawsuits are incidents in which people have been injured by certain products. This area of the law is divided into different sections. There are strict liability lawsuits which mean that the manufacturer is responsible for the product because it is inherently dangerous, even if the consumer was at fault. For example, lead paint in children’s toys may fall under strict liability because even though eating the paint off of the toy is not part of the ordinary use of the toy, the company is still likely liable for the danger of the paint. There are other lawsuits in which the product was manufactured incorrectly and caused damage to someone. In order to determine if your case falls under a product liability lawsuit, call Greenberg & Rudman LLP now at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO).
After the death of three children and the near strangulation of seven others, approximately 5.5 million window shades and blinds have been recalled. The window shades that have been recalled were manufactured by different companies and sold in a variety of stores, but share a common factor: they all had exposed cords and loops that could potentially choke children. The three children who died from the blind cords were strangled by the loops. There have been several children who were being strangled by the cords but were saved in the nick of time. Some of the products being recalled include: Oval Roll-up Blinds, Woolrich Roman Shades, Roller Shades, Thermal Sailcloth and Matchstick Bamboo Roman Shades, and MELINA Roman Blinds.
