Oregon Toy Injury Lawyer
Fred Rogers called play “the work of childhood.” If so, it’s one of the most dangerous occupations. A toy-related injury will bring some 150,000 parents with injured children to an emergency room this year. Most will come because a toy caused injury to a child by choking. Children under age 4 are particularly vulnerable to toy choking hazards. Others will bring children who have suffered strangulation, chemical poisoning or brain damage by ingesting lead pain, burns from defective electrical toys, severe lacerations from sharp edges that can cut infants, or fractures from falls after riding or sitting toys fall apart.
Defective design, defective manufacturing, or warning defects in other children’s products may also cause serious child injuries. Unsafe playground equipment may expose a child to injury by falling from heights onto hard surfaces without adequate fall protection. Swimming pool drains may pull and hold children underwater, causing death or serious injury by drowning. Infant and child car seats with defective harnesses or other defects may fail to protect.
Toy and children’s product manufacturers are subject to strict federal and state laws. The Child Safety Protection Act, for example, requires warning labels on products that place young children at risk of choking. Despite legal protections, however, numerous toy-related injuries and fatalities continue to happen each year.

Johnson believes strongly in holding negligent toy and children’s product manufacturers accountable under the law for serious injuries and wrongful death to any child.
