Illinois Product Liability Claims: Children and Lead Paint Poisoning (Part B)

Liability for Dangerous Children's Toys with Lead Contamination

Determining who is liable for dangerous children's toys that have lead contamination is not an easy process. This is where an experienced Chicago product liability lawyer comes in. An attorney can help determine who may be held liable for your child's injuries, which may include more than one party.

Anyone that is involved in the making or selling of a defective product can potentially be held responsible. This may result in several parties being held legally liable for your child's lead poisoning injuries.

An example would be the recall of a toy contaminated with lead. The toymaker company could be held liable for damages that are a result of the lead contamination. In addition, if a retailer fails to pull a product from their shelves and continues to sell it after a recall is issued, they could also be held liable for damages.

Liability for dangerous children's toys with lead contamination could include the:

toymaker;
manufacturer;
designer;
engineer;
supplier;
distributor;
retailer; and
outside contractors.

Symptoms of Lead Poisoning

Children who display symptoms of lead poisoning should receive immediate medical attention. Lead poisoning can lead to irreversible damage and can have long-term effects on behavior and learning.

Some of the symptoms of leading poisoning include:

seizures;
tremors;
sluggishness;
staring into space;
headaches;
hyperactivity;
irritability;
constipation;
loss of appetite;
abdominal cramps; and
unconsciousness.
