No one wants to take the joy out of the holiday season, but it pays to be cautious when buying Christmas presents that may be hazardous to your children. Did you know, for example, that McDonalds issued a toy in its Happy Meal a couple of years ago that had to be recalled? It was called the “Hello Kitty Whistle”. Two kids choked on parts of it that came loose before it was recalled!
The Ace Bayou Bean Bag Chair claimed the life of a 10 year old boy in Texas and a 3 year old girl in Kentucky when they suffocated within it. Have you ever heard of the Cannondale Tandem Bicycle? A problem with the fork of this particular bicycle has caused riders to lose control. Consumer Reports tells us that 5000 Americans a year die in bicycle accidents.
Just be vigilant this holiday season. Give gifts that are age appropriate. When you do, monitor the use of those toys and games by your children. If you ever discover a defective product, contact Attorney Kenneth Wagner. The winner of the McDonalds Hot Coffee Case has been protecting people in the Great Southwest from defective products for decades from his Albuquerque office at (505) 242-6300.
