Many parents purchase toys for their children during the holiday season, forgetting to turn in the registration forms for those products. These forms are crucial for the safety of the child, however. Valuable information tells parents those gifts may be undergoing a recall. In one case, the parents of a 16-month-old bought a portable crib and play yard. They did not know the product was recalled due to not sending in those forms. The child suffered asphyxiation from getting trapped and died. “I will never get to watch him grow up; I will never get to celebrate his first birthday,” said the mother. Millions of children’s products are recalled every year, according to news reports.
Parents must fill out those registration forms, which cannot be used for marketing. “The law that puts this product registration program in place makes it illegal for companies to use that information for any other purpose” said a representative from the Consumer Federation of America.
As a car accident lawyer, I really hope parents take the time to fill out product registrations, as it may save your child’s life.
