Legal Help for Defective Toys in Maryland
Protecting Children and Holding Manufacturers Accountable
Every parent wants the best for their child—especially when it comes to safety. Unfortunately, not all toys on the market meet proper safety standards. In Maryland, cases involving injuries from defective toys are on the rise, and many families are left with questions about their legal rights. If your child has been harmed by a dangerous or faulty toy, you may be entitled to compensation.
Understanding Defective Toy Injuries
Toys are supposed to provide joy, entertainment, and education. But when a toy is poorly designed, manufactured with dangerous materials, or lacks proper safety warnings, it can lead to serious injuries. These include:
-
Choking hazards from small or breakable parts
-
Burns or electric shocks from electronic toys
-
Lacerations or bruises from sharp edges
-
Exposure to toxic chemicals like lead or phthalates
Even popular, big-brand toys are not immune to recalls or liability. When injuries occur, it’s important to understand that product liability laws in Maryland are in place to protect you and your family.
Common Causes of Toy Defects
There are typically three legal grounds for pursuing a defective toy case:
-
Design Defects – The toy’s design is inherently dangerous, even when manufactured correctly.
-
Manufacturing Defects – Errors in the production process made the toy unsafe.
-
Failure to Warn – The toy lacked proper labeling or usage instructions, making it hazardous to use.
What Should Parents Do After an Injury?
If your child is hurt by a toy, take the following steps immediately:
-
Seek medical attention and document all injuries
-
Preserve the toy as evidence and avoid throwing it away
-
Take photos of the toy, injury, and any warning labels
-
Gather receipts or proof of purchase
-
Contact a Maryland product liability attorney
A skilled lawyer can investigate the toy's origin, whether it has been recalled, and who may be held liable—this could include the manufacturer, distributor, or even the retailer.
