Products Liability - Trunk used for Toddler's Toys Traps Head

By Benjamin J. Sansone, Esq.

A young child suffered severe personal injuries after the oxygen was cut off to her brain for several minutes when the lid of a trunk used for her toys fell and caught her neck. Apparently the trunk had been marketed for years with the knowledge that the trunk was used for toys, moreover, the trunk was at such a level as it is reasonably foreseeable that a young child would open the trunk. The trunk lacked any type of warnings as inappropriate for use as a toy box or warning of potential injury to young children. Moreover, the lid did not have any resistance to stop the lid from falling. Marketing research and safety analysis would have easily revealed this type of injury as reasonably foreseeable.
