Children’s toys come in all shapes, sizes and prices, and many are purchased without giving a second thought to the potential dangers they could present.  While it’s always tragic for parents to have to learn the hard way what happens when a defective product makes its way into a home, any warning that can be spread should be in hopes of preventing problems.  One company has begun to publicize a recall of several different products for children, effective immediately.

According to the Los Angeles Times:

“Team Work Trading of Los Angeles is recalling about 1,400 children’s animal masks and pendants because they contain high levels of lead, which is toxic to young children.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission advised consumers to immediately stop using the recalled items and contact Team Work Trading for a refund or exchange.

The recall involves a children’s animal mask and four styles of metal pendants with anime symbols.

The items were manufactured in China and sold at gift shops and modeling stores nationwide from November 2008 through March 2009 for between $4 and $8.”

Thankfully, no injuries have yet been reported in connection with use of these products, and any parents who know of the presence of these products in their homes are advised to remove them as soon as possible and to seek a refund from the manufacturer. If you or someone you love has been injured or worse by these or any other products, you need to seek the help of a Sacramento defective products lawyer who understands how to hold those responsible for releasing dangerous products onto the market accountable.  Contact Demas Law Group today to schedule a free initial consultation.
