Toysmith, the manufacturer of kids' "snap" bracelets recently announced a recall of the toys. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission officially announced the recall with the full voluntary cooperation of the toy manufacturer. Nearly 90,000 units have been recalled which have been sold or were sent out to retailers. The bracelets contain a metal band which curls into a bracelet when slapped on the wrist. The metal strips are covered by colorfully patterned metallic fabrics and have an animal figurine attached to each one. There were eight reports of injuries to children which prompted the recall. The metal band can wear through the fabric which then results in a sharp edge being exposed. The exposed metal can cause cuts and abrasions to the wrist or other areas while the child is playing with it. Consumers of the product were instructed to return the snap bracelet to the store where it was purchased and they will receive a full refund. Was your child injured by a defective or dangerous toy?

Do you have a dangerous toy claim?
Toy manufacturers have a responsibility to produce products that are safe for use by children. When a toy maker fails to ensure the quality and safety of their product and that negligence results in the injury or death of a child then that company should be held liable for the damages they caused. Design defects, manufacturing defects or even damage caused to the item during transportation or at the retailer can mean serious harm to a child. Common complaints concerning defective or dangerous toys include choking hazards, toxic substances, lacerations caused by sharp edges or parts and much more.
