Target Recalls Children’s Mask That Poses Suffocation Hazard

By Los Angeles Personal Injury Lawyer on October 20, 2011

Target has issued a recall of a children’s mask product because it lacks proper ventilation, according to recent news sources.

About 3,400 of the products are subject to recall. The mask is a Children’s Frog Mask that is primarily green and yellow with some red accents. There are two cutouts for eyes and the mask fastens around the childs face with an elastic band that goes across the back of the neck. The code 06626491474 is printed on a tag attached to the mask.

The mask is not well ventilated and thus poses a suffocation hazard to the wearer. No injuries have currently been reported.

The mask was sold at Target for about $1 from August to September of 2011. Consumers can return the masks to Target for a refund.

The Los Angeles wrongful death attorney at our law firm believes child and consumer safety is our number one priority. We know that even with all of the rules and regulations imposed on product manufacturers, things can still go wrong and sometimes companies even put profit before safety. If you or a loved one has been injured by a dangerous children’s product, please do not hesitate to call a product liability lawyer right away. The longer you wait the more chance you have of losing evidence for your potential product liability case.


Drop Side Cribs Recalled Due to Strangulation Hazard

About 8,000 cribs sold by J.C. Penney have been recalled due to a suffocation or strangulation hazard, according to recent news reports.

The drop-side cribs subject to recall were made by Yu Wei Co. Ltd., of Taipei, Taiwan. They were sold under Scroll and Lauren model names and come in antique white, dark cherry, and pecan. They retailed for around $300 and $450 between January 2006 through December 2010.

The rails of the crib are faulty and can detach or fall without warning, creating a space in which a baby can become trapped, creating a strangulation or suffocation hazard. The Consumer Product Safety Commission has received nine different reports of incident, one in which the child suffered minor abrasions to the arm.

Parents should stop using the crib for their child and contact the manufacturer for a kit to repair the problem.

As a Los Angeles wrongful death lawyer, I hope that no other children will be injured as a result of using these cribs. In my extensive experience as a product liability lawyer, I’ve seen just how dangerous drop-side cribs can be to young infants. If your child has been injured by a defective crib or toy, I advise you to seek legal counsel right away.
