As a Charleston personal injury attorney, I urge parents to check their children’s toys for this recalled item. Staph infection can cause symptoms including fever, chills, sweats, small areas of tenderness or swelling, open sores that develop redness, warmth swelling and pain.

While we don’t handle this type of recall we feel that it’s important to educate the community that there has been a recall to help protect your safety. If you have been injured in a recall like this you might wish to contact a Charleston personal injury lawyer who can help.
