On February 27, 2020, Lennox Industries issued a recall for the Lennox Ductless Single-Zone and Multi-Zone heat pumps. According to the recall, number 20-083, the internal electrical components in the heat pumps can fail, allowing the units to overheat – this poses a fire risk. The recall directly affects approximately 1,650 units in the U.S. and another 380 in Canada.

The recall specifically includes three models of the Lennox Ductless Single-Zone or Multi-Zone heat pumps. Both the model numbers and serial numbers can be found on a nameplate on the side of the products. The affected heat pumps are associated with the following serial and model numbers:

• Serial: MPA018S4M-1P – Model: 6915XXXXXX or 6916XXXXXX
• Serial: MPA048S4S-1P – Model: 6915XXXXXX or 6916XXXXXX
• Serial: MPA048S4M-1P – Model: 6915XXXXXX or 6916XXXXXX

The defective heat pumps were sold from January 2016 to November 2019 for prices ranging between $8,700 and $15,550 – the heat pumps were available through independent dealers nationwide.

According to the company, they have received two reports (in Canada) of the product overheating. One of the reports consisted of a small hole in the heat pump’s motor associated with melting, while the other report consisted of the fan blade and motor catching fire. Lennox Industries claims that no injuries have occurred because of their defective products.

The company is urging all affected consumers to contact their installing services, dealer, or contractor to make arrangements for a free replacement of the heating pump. The company is recommending that affected consumers monitor the affected heat pumps during operation while they wait for a replacement; affected consumers should keep all foliage and other flammable items at least 24 inches from the heat pumps. Lennox is directly contacting all independent dealers; the independent dealers will then contact consumers to arrange the removal and replacement of the affected heat pumps.

Do you own one of the heat pumps affected by the recall? Have you or your family been directly affected by the defective product? Should you follow the recommendations listed on the recall? If you or your family suffered harm, following the recommendation of arranging for a replacement, specifically, could do more harm than good. If you or your family suffered any type of harm, you should explore the possibility of filing a product liability claim against Lennox Industries.

For more information, it is essential that you seek legal assistance at your earliest convenience.

The Danger of the Fire Risk

As explained above, the defective heat pumps can overheat and pose a fire danger. Without a doubt, fires can cause significant property damage. Entire structures could burn to ash if a fire blazes out of control. Even if a structure in not affected by burn damage, it could sustain significant smoke and ash damage, which could be very costly to address. In addition, fires can also pose the risk of physical injuries, including burn injuries and smoke-inhalation injuries, for example. Burn injuries can range in severity, including but not limited by second-degree burns, third-degree burns, fourth-degree burns, and so forth. Without a doubt, fire could lead to thick smoke, which can result in smoke-inhalation injuries. Specifically, oxygen deprivation can cause the loss of consciousness and even permanent brain damage. Inhaling hot fumes and gasses could also result in internal burns of the respiratory system. Without a doubt, a fire risk is significant and shouldn’t be taken lightly.

About Product Liability and Holding Companies Accountable

Is Lennox Industries liable for the harm that you and your entire family suffered? Depending on the details surrounding the specific incident and the harm that you suffered, you might have grounds to take legal action – specifically, you might have grounds to file a product liability claim. Your right to take legal action against Lennox Industries would be based on product liability. What is product liability, and how does it affect your right to pursue a claim?

Based on product liability, all companies owe their consumers a specific duty of care – specifically, companies have the duty to ensure that their products were completely safe consumer use. Companies must subject their products to tests and inspections to ensure that their products are safe to be used. If they fail to ensure that their products are completely safe for consumers to use, companies are breaching their duty of care – and are putting innocent and unsuspecting consumers at risk of injury.

Based on product liability, companies could be liable for all the harm suffered associated with a defective product. If you would like to learn more about product liability, and how it could affect your right to pursue a claim, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance at your earliest convenience.

What Should You Do?

You were affected by a defective product; now, what? What can you do? What are your options? Without a doubt, you might have grounds to pursue a product liability claim; however, there are a number of things that you should do to prepare to file your claim.

What should you do? How could you prepare to pursue your claim? Consider the following steps:

• Seek medical attention immediately
• Take photos of all physical injuries
• Take photos of all property damage (including structural damage and smoke/ash damage)
• Contact Lennox Industries to report the defective product and the harm suffered
• Never agree to a free repair, a full refund, a replacement, or to return the defective product
• Stop using the defective product and keep it as-is in a safe place
• Collect any purchase records, including receipts, pay statements, or email confirmations, for example
• Collect any medical records associated with the harm caused by the defective product
• Speak to a product liability lawyer

If you would like to learn more about the importance of following the recommendations listed above, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance at your earliest convenience. Our experts are ready to guide you every step of the way.

You Could Recover Compensation

Can you recover any form of compensation if you pursue a claim after you were directly affected by the defective heat pumps recently recalled by Lennox Industries? Depending on the details surrounding your claim, you might be eligible to recover monetary compensation. The type and amount of compensation that you could be eligible to receive will always depend on the details surrounding your claim; therefore, an expert evaluation of your claim is essential.

Based on the details surrounding your claim and the harm that you and your family suffered, you might have grounds to recover compensation for some of the following:

• Medical expenses
• Lost earnings
• Pain and suffering
• Property damage
• Loss of consortium
• Funeral and burial costs
• Punitive damages

Our product liability lawyers are ready to evaluate your claim and aggressively fight for your right to recover the compensation that you deserve. For more information about your right to be compensated, contact our defective product attorneys today.

The Deadline to Pursue Your Claim

There is no doubt that you could pursue a product liability claim if the harm that you or a member of your family suffered was associated with a defective product. However, did you know that you could potentially lose your right to take any legal action? Did you know that you could lose your right to sue?

Unfortunately, you could lose your right to sue if you fail to file your claim within the appropriate length of time. This is because all claims are subject to specific deadlines. If claims are not filed within the appropriate deadline, claimants will permanently lose their right to take any legal action (and to recover any form of compensation).

What deadline applies to your claim? In California, product liability claims are typically subject to a two-year statute of limitations. This means that claimants only have two years to file their claims. As mentioned above, failing to file on time could result in losing the right to sue.

Although the statute of limitations establishes a strict deadline to sue, certain exceptions could apply. These exceptions could toll the applicable deadline. If you would like to learn more about the specific length of time that you have to sue, including any exceptions that might apply to your claim, do not hesitate to contact our firm immediately.

On February 20, 2020, Kolcraft issued a recall for their inclined sleeper accessories included with their Kolcraft Cuddle ‘n Care 2-in-1 Bassinet & Incline Sleepers as well as their Preferred Position 2-in-1 Bassinet & Incline Sleepers. According to the recall, number 20-075, infant fatalities have been reported associated with incline sleep products made available by other manufacturers; the fatalities occurred when infants rolled onto their stomachs or sides from their backs, or under other circumstances. Approximately 51,000 units have been affected by the recall.

The recall specifically involves the incline sleeper accessory sold with Kolcraft Cuddle ‘n Care 2-in-1 Bassinet & Incline Sleeper (with model number starting with KB063) as well as the Kolcraft Preferred Position 2-in-1 Bassinet & Incline Sleeper (with model number starting in KB061). The model numbers can be found on the metal bar between the bassinets’ legs. It is important to note that the inclined sleeper is the only portion of the product that is affected by the recall.

The recalled sleepers were available at juvenile product stores as well as mass merchandisers nationwide from March 2011 through December 2017; the 2-in-1 products were sold for about $140 each.

According to the recall, no incidents involving the Kolcraft inclined sleeper accessories have been reported; however, incidents and fatalities have been reported to other manufacturers. Although Kolcraft claims that the recall is preventative and that no incidents have occurs because of their inclined sleeper accessories, it is possible that

The company is suggesting that all affected consumers stop using the recalled incline sleeper accessory. The company is also urging affected consumers to contact them for either a $35 voucher to be used on their website or a $20 refund. The company is directly contacting registered owners and known purchasers via a postcard sent in the mail. According to the company, consumers can continue using the bassinet portion of the product without the recalled incline sleeper accessory.

Should you follow the recommendations suggested by Kolcraft? If your child was harmed as a direct result of the recalled incline sleeper accessory, you should never consider the possibility of following the recommendations set out by the recall. Instead, you should consider taking legal action against Kolcraft and holding the company accountable for the harm that your child suffered.

If you would like to explore the possibility of pursuing claim against Kolcraft, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our law firm as soon as possible. You can trust the experts at Normandie Law Firm. Normandie Law Firm is a personal injury law firm with experience handling all sorts of claim, including defective product claims.

The Risk of Suffocation

Many incline sleepers have been associated with infant fatalities. As stated in the recall, infants that roll over from their backs onto their sides or stomach can suffocate. Fatalities have also occurred under other circumstances – even when the infant remains on his or her back. Specifically, the incline on some of the sleepers can be too much for infants, causing their heads to fall forward (chin to chest) and blocking their airways. Suffocation can lead to death, without a doubt. However, those you survive are likely to suffer brain damage due to the oxygen deprivation. Regardless of how innocent infants are affected by defective baby sleepers and sleeper accessories, it is important to be aware that innocent infants would never have suffered harm if companies had ensured that their products were completely safe to be used.

Your Right to File a Claim based on Product Liability

Do you have the right to file a claim for the harm that your child suffered due to a defective inclined sleeper or sleeper accessory? The answer is simple – yes, you might have grounds to sue. If the defect present in the defective product related to the product’s labeling, design, or manufacturing, you might have grounds to sue. Your right to sue is based on the concept of product liability.

Based on product liability, companies owe their consumers a duty of care. What duty do companies owe to consumers? All companies owe their consumers the duty to ensure that all their products are safe for use. Because of this, companies must take measures to ensure that their products are safe. They must identify and address all possible hazards present in their products prior to making them available to consumers.

Unfortunately, many companies fail to exercise their duty of care towards their consumers. Instead, they breach their duty of care and put their consumers at risk of suffering harm. Whenever a breached duty of care (a failure to identify or address a hazard present in a product) directly leads to the harm that an innocent consumer suffered, the company could be negligent for all the harm suffered.

What does this mean? Because companies could be liable for the harm that their consumers suffer due to their defective products, affected consumers could sue. If you would like to learn more about your right to sue on the basis of product liability, do not hesitate to contact the experts at our firm immediately. Our attorneys are ready to evaluate your claim and provide you with all the information that you need to take legal action against the company that caused the harm that your child suffered.

What Steps Should You Consider Taking?

After being harmed in any way by a defective product, there are a number of things that affected consumers should do. Consider the following points:

• Seek medical care for your infant immediately
• Take photos of any visible harm suffered (color changes due to suffocation, etc.)
• Take photos of the defective inclined sleeper accessory
• Stop using the defective product immediately
• Keep the defective product in a safe place as-is (do not attempt to repair the product yourself)
• Contact Kolcraft, or any other company, to report the defect, the incident, and all the harm suffered.
  • Do not agree to a full refund or a voucher from the company
  • Do not agree to a free repair or replacement
  • Do not agree to return the defective product
• Collect all medical records (if the incident resulted in a fatality, include death records)
• Gather documents relevant to the purchase of the defective product
• Seek the expertise of a product liability lawyer immediately

Following the steps listed above is essential in preparing to pursue a product liability claim; specifically, following these steps allows consumers to gather the tools that they will need to pursue their claims. For more information about the steps that you should follow and the specific actions that you should take, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with our experts at your earliest convenience.

Could You Recover Any Compensation?

The recovery of monetary compensation cannot and will not reverse the harm that you, your infant, and your entire family might have suffered. There is no doubt about that. However, recovering compensation can help you and your entire family move on from the experience. Could you really be eligible to recover compensation? If so, how much could you be awarded? What type of compensation might you be eligible to receive?

Depending on the details of your product liability claim, you might be eligible to recover compensation for some of the following:

• Medical costs
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of consortium
• Funeral and burial costs
• Punitive damages

For more information about the exact type and amount of compensation that you might be awarded if your claim reaches a successful outcome, do not hesitate to contact our law firm at your earliest convenience. Our lawyers are ready to aggressively represent your right to be compensated. Our personal injury attorneys will help you and your family recover the compensation that you deserve.

The Statute of Limitations and Filing Your Claim

Without a doubt, you have the right to sue for the harm that your child suffered associated with Kolcraft’s recently recalled inclined sleeper accessories. Although you have the right to sue, it is also important that you acknowledge that you only have a short length of time to pursue your claim. This is because all claims are subject to strict deadlines established by a statute of limitations. A statute of limitations simply determines how long claimants have to file their claims.

What happens if I do not file my claim within the time allowed by the statute of limitations? The answer is simple: you will lose your right to sue. If you fail to file your claim within the time allowed by the statute of limitations, you will lose the right to sue, and you will be unable to hold the liable company accountable for the harm that your infant suffered.

How long do I have to file my product liability claim? In California, product liability claims are subject to a two-year statute of limitations; this means that affected consumers will only have two years to file their claims. As explained above, if claims are not filed on time, claimants will lose their right to sue.

Without a doubt, you must be aware of the deadline that applies to your claim; however, you must also be aware of any exceptions to the deadline that might apply. Exceptions will always be based on the specific details of your claim; these exceptions could toll or pause the deadline for some time.

To learn more about the exact length of time that you might have to pursue your claim, do not hesitate to contact our experts at Normandie Law Firm today.

Bobcat Company Recalls UTVs due to Collision and Crash Risk
Pier 1 Issues a Recall for Desk Chairs due to Fall and Injury Risk
Graco Recalls Little Lounger Rocking Seats as Prevention for Suffocation Risk

On February 6, 2020, Juratoys issued a recall for their bead maze toys, specifically the Sophie la Giraffe Bead Maze toy. According to the recall, number 20-066, the wooden triangle shape piece on the toy fails to meet mandatory federal standards for small parts; therefore, it poses a choking risk to young children. The recall has affected approximately 980 products.

The recalled toy is a round wood-based bead maze toy shaped like the Eiffel Tower; it has a Sophie giraffe figure and three wooden shapes. The three wooden shapes include an orange triangle, a red hear, and a green star – these wooden shapes sort into the wooden base of the toy. The Eiffel Tower is gray and stands approximately 8 inches tall; the wooden base is green and measures 6.75 inches in diameter.

The recall specifically involves the following batch numbers:

• 9321/J09504/022019
• 9474/J09504/042019
• 9549/J09504/052019

The batch numbers can be found on the packaging above the barcode that is on the bottom of the packaging’s base.

The defective toys were sold at specialty toy and gift stores nationwide for approximately $25 each from February 2019 to November 2019.

According to the recall, no injuries have been reported. The company is urging consumers to stop using the recalled bead maze toy, check the toy for the recalled batch numbers, destroy the wooden triangle piece (if the batch number on the toy matches the recalled numbers), and contact the company to receive a free replacement of the triangle piece.

What if your infant was harmed because of the defective product? If you infant choked because of the defective product, you should never consider simply destroying the wooden piece and requesting a free replacement. Is the harm that your child suffered only worth the free replacement piece? Rather that following the recommendations of the company, you should explore the possibility of pursuing a product liability claim,

Depending on the details surrounding you claim, you might have grounds to file a product liability claim for the harm that your child suffered. In other words, you could hold Juratoys accountable for the harm that your child suffered because of their defective product. For more information about your right to file a defective product claim, do not hesitate to contact the experts at Normandie Law Firm at your earliest convenience.

Normandie Law Firm is a personal injury law firm with many years of experience representing the best interests of victims and their families. Our product liability lawyers are not afraid to pursue claims against the companies that negligently harm their consumers. Would you like to explore the possibility of pursuing a defective product claim against Juratoys or any other company that negligently contributed to the harm that you or your child suffered? If so, do not hesitate to contact our experts at our firm immediately.

The Severity of the Choking Hazard

As mentioned above, the wooden triangle piece of the bead maze toy that was recently recalled by Juratoys fails to meet the federal standards relevant to small parts in children’s toys; therefore, it represents a choking hazard. Young children have no concept of consequences; they are curious and quick to put things into their mouths. Without a doubt, parents and other caretakers must be vigilant when small parts are near; however, parents and caretakers often let down their guard when young children are only around toys specifically designed for children. After all, they must be safe for them to use.

Unfortunately, the toys designed for young children are not always safe. Small parts, such as the wooden triangle piece of the bead maze, could be swallowed – quickly blocking the airways. If the choking is not immediately addressed, the oxygen deprivation caused by the blockage in the airways can quickly lead to unconsciousness, brain damage, and even death.

There is no doubt that a choking incident can severely impact your child’s life as well as the life of the entire family. When these incidents are caused by defective products, the companies that negligently made the defective products available for consumers could be held accountable.

About Product Liability and Your Right to Sue

Who is responsible for the harm that innocent children suffer because of defective products? Depending on the situation, the companies that make the defective products available could be held responsible for the harm that their consumers suffer. This is based on something called product liability. Based on product liability, all companies owe their consumers a duty of care.

Companies have the duty to ensure that their products are completely safe to be used as intended by consumers. To adhere to this duty of care, companies must subject their products to a number of tests and inspections with the purpose of identifying any defects in design, labeling, or manufacturing. If companies fail to identify any defects or hazards present in their products, they are both breaching their duty of care and putting their consumers at risk of suffering harm.

Exposing consumers to defective products could result in incidents, which could directly lead to innocent consumers suffering harm. Based on product liability, if the harm that consumers suffer can be directly connected to a breached duty of care or a defective product, the company could be held accountable for all the harm suffered. This means that consumers might have grounds to take legal action against the liable company and possibly recover compensation.

If you would like to learn more about product liability as well as your right to sue and file a product liability claim, do not hesitate to contact the experts at our law firm at your earliest convenience. Our lawyers are ready to represent you and provide you with all the information that you need to take legal action against Juratoys or any other negligent company.

Recovering Monetary Compensation

Could you be eligible to recover monetary compensation if you pursue a claim after your young child suffered harm because of a defective product? Depending on the details surrounding your claim, you might have grounds to take legal action – you might also have grounds to recover compensation upon a successful claim outcome.

Could you really be eligible to receive monetary compensation for the harm that your child suffered? How much compensation could you be eligible to receive? What type of compensation could you be awarded? The specific type and amount of compensation that you could be eligible to receive if you successfully file a product liability claim against Juratoys or any other negligent company will always depend on the details surrounding your claim.

Although every product liability claim is different, some claims could lead to the recovery of some of the following categories of compensation:

• Medical expenses
• Lost earnings
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of consortium
• Funeral and burial costs
• Punitive damages

To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the type and amount of compensation that you might be eligible to receive, do not hesitate to seek the expertise of the defective product attorneys at our law firm at your earliest convenience. Our lawyers are ready to aggressively fight for your right to recover the highest amount of compensation available for your claim. If you would like to learn more about the compensation that you could be eligible to recover, contact our firm today.

The Important Steps to Consider

Depending on the details surrounding the harm that your child suffered, you might have grounds to take legal action. However, there are a number of steps that you should follow in preparation of taking legal action.

Consider the following recommendations:

• Take photos of any physical injuries suffered (this might be impossible if there were no clear physical injuries; however, if your child’s skin changed color because of the choking, it could be beneficial to take photos given that it is safe to do so)
• Take photos of the defective product (if possible, of the small part that caused the choking, given that it was recovered)
• Seek medical attention immediately (emergency services might be required)
• Contact the company (report the defective product and the harm that your child suffered)
• Never agree to return the defective product, get a free replacement/repair, or to get a full refund/voucher (agreeing to any of these will essentially lead to forfeiting the right to sue)
• Gather all relevant records (including medical records as well as purchase records)
• Speak to witnesses (if witnesses are available, gather their contact information for later reference)
• Find an attorney (seek the expertise of a product liability lawyer)

When you follow the steps listed above, you are essentially gathering important tools to eventually pursue a claim. If you would like to learn more about the importance of following these steps, do not hesitate to contact our experts at your earliest convenience.

You Should Act Promptly

Your infant was harmed by a defective product; now, what? Sure, you can file a claim – and hold the negligent company accountable for the harm that your child suffered. But did you know that your claim is subject to a deadline? Did you know that you only have a limited amount of time to pursue your claim?

All claims are subject to statutes of limitations. A statute of limitations determines the specific length of time that claimants have to pursue their claims. If claimants fail to file their claims within the appropriate length of time, they will lose their right to sue – along with the right to sue, they will also lose their right to recover any form of compensation for the harm that they suffered.

What deadline applies to your claim? In general, product liability claims in California are subject to a two-year statute of limitations. This means that the parties affected by defective products only have two years to file their claims. Although this is a strict timeline, it is possible for exceptions to apply. If any exceptions apply to your claim, the deadline could be tolled – essentially giving you more time to sue.

To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the deadline and any possible exceptions that might apply to your claim, do not hesitate to contact our law firm at your earliest convenience. Our lawyers are ready to provide you with all the information that you need to file your product liability claim on time.

On February 27, 2020, Ishtex Textile Products issued a recall for their Just Blanks children’s nightgowns. According to the recall, number 20-082, the nightgowns do not meet federal flammability standards for children’s sleepwear; this results in a risk of burn injuries to children. The recall includes approximately 450 units.

The recall specifically involves the Just Blanks-branded nightgowns available in two prints (birthday and elephant) and in size 12 months through size 12. The nightgowns are 92% cotton and 8% spandex. The nightgown with the birthday print has a blue trim (on the bottom and on the sleeves), while the nightgown with the elephant print is pink. Both “Just Blanks” and tracking number 20190329 can be found printed on the sewn-in neck label.

The defective children’s nightgowns were sold in children’s boutiques around the nation from August 2019 through December 2019; the nightgowns were approximately $30 each.

According to Ishtex Textile Products, no incidents or injuries have been reported. The company is urging consumers to immediately take the recalled nightgowns away from children; the company is also offering full refunds.

Although the company claims that no injuries have been reported, it is possible that there have been a number of unreported incidents and injuries associated with the defective nightgowns. Was your child harmed because of the recently recalled nightgowns? If so, you should never even consider the possibility of accepting a refund from the company; rather, you should explore the possibility of taking legal action against the company that contributed to the harm that your child suffered.

Could you sue Ishtex Textile Products for the harm that your child suffered? Because the company violated the federal flammability standards for children’s sleepwear, the company could be liable. If you would like to learn more about your right to pursue a claim against the company that contributed to the harm that your child suffered, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with our experts at your earliest convenience.

At Normandie Law Firm, our lawyers have many years of experience handling all sorts of claims – including product liability claims. If your child was harmed by a defective product, you might have grounds to file a product liability claim and you should seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm at your earliest convenience. Our lawyers are ready to evaluate your claim and guide you towards a successful claim outcome.

Understanding Federal Flammability Standards for Children’s Sleepwear

From 1942 to 1954, over one-hundred families were affected by flammable children’s apparel. Specifically, the Gene Autry cowboy suits, for boys and girls alike, were so flammable that the material violently ignited as soon as it came into contact with a flame or spark; children were covered in flames in just seconds.

In 1953, the U.S. Flammable Fabrics Act was introduced – it was designed to regulate the manufacturing of clothing that was highly flammable. The law requires all children’s sleepwear to be flame-resistant or snug fitting. The act was a direct result of the hundreds of burn injuries suffered by innocent children in the years prior.

Why is Flammable Clothing So Dangerous?

What is your first response to seeing a fire? For most, the first response is to get a safe distance away from the fire. Even children who have yet no concept of danger might instinctually try to get away from the flames that are burning them. What happens when the fire is on the clothes children are wearing? Because of the closeness of clothes to the skin, burning clothes could very quickly cause injuries. Second-degree burns, third-degree burns, and fourth-degree burns are all possible. The skin, the muscles, the nerves, and the bones could be charred by the flames. Depending on the severity of the injuries, they might be too much for a young child to survive.

Understanding Liability for the Harm Caused by a Defective Product

Who is liable for the harm resulting from a defective product? If your child suffered burn injuries because of the recently recalled nightgowns, could you hold anyone accountable? Depending on the details surrounding the incident and the harm that your child suffered, you might have grounds to hold the company that manufactured the defective product liable for all the harm suffered.

Could you really sue Ishtex Textile Products? Yes, you could sue the company. Your right to sue Ishtex Textile Products is based on product liability. What is product liability, and how does it affect your right to sue? Based on product liability, companies owe their consumers a duty of care – specifically, the duty to ensure that their products are completely safe to be used. This also means that companies must ensure that their products adhere to any federal standards – including flammability standards.

When companies fail to ensure that their products are completely safe for consumers to use, they are breaching their duty of care. A breach of duty could lead to an incident which could cause harm. If a company negligently breaches a duty of care and directly contributes to the harm that a consumer suffers, the company could be held liable based on product liability.

Ishtex Textile Products failed to ensure that their children’s nightgowns were completely safe for use. It is just one of many other companies that have breached their duty of care towards their consumers, negligently putting them at risk of harm.

Harmed Consumers Should Follow These Steps

Unfortunately, failing to act accordingly could greatly reduce the possibility of successfully filing a product liability claim. There are a number of things that affected consumers should do to essentially prepare to take legal action against the company that contributed to the harm suffered.

Consider the following recommended steps:

• Photograph all physical injuries
• Photograph the defective product (or whatever is remaining of the product)
• Seek a medical evaluation immediately
• Contact the company to report the incident and the harm suffered because of the defective product
• Do not agree to a free replacement
• Do not agree to return the defective product
• Do not agree to a refund, voucher, or credit
• Do not agree to a free repair
• Keep the defective product in a safe place, where it could remain as-is
• Do not tamper with the defective product in any way
• Speak to witnesses, if available
• Gather all medical records associated with the harm suffered
• Gather all purchase records
• Speak with a lawyer immediately

By following the points listed above, affected consumers are gathering important tools that will allow them to file their claims. If you would like to learn more about each of the steps above and how following these steps could help you during the legal process, do not hesitate to contact our law firm at your earliest convenience.

The Compensation Available for Recovery

Given that you pursue a claim, you could be eligible to recover monetary compensation for the harm that your child suffered. How much compensation could you be awarded? What type of compensation could you receive if your claim reaches a successful outcome? The compensation that claimants could recover will always be based on the details surrounding the specific claim, and it could include some of the following:

• Medical costs
• Lost income
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of consortium
• Funeral and burial expenses
• Property damage
• Punitive damages

Would you like to learn more about the type and amount of compensation that you could be eligible to recover if your claim is successful? If so, do not hesitate to contact the experts at our firm at your earliest convenience. Our lawyers are ready to help you gain a better understanding of the type and amount of compensation that you could be eligible to recover.

When you allow the product liability experts at our firm to handle your claim, you can be certain that they will aggressively fight for your right to be fairly compensated for the harm that your child suffered.

If you are ready to further discuss the type and amount of compensation that you could be eligible to recover if your product liability claim reaches a successful outcome, do not hesitate to contact our firm at your earliest convenience.

The Statute of Limitations

If you are interested in pursuing a claim for the harm that your child suffered, you should consider filing your claim as soon as possible – as all claims are subject to deadlines. All claims are subject to a statute of limitations, which determines the specific length of time that claimants have to file their claims. If claimants fail to file their claims within the appropriate length of time, they could lose their right to sue altogether.

What deadline applies to your product liability claim against Ishtex Textile Products? In California, product liability claims are usually subject to a two-year statute of limitations. This means that claimants will only have a timeframe of two years to file their claims. If they do not file their claims on time, they will be unable to take any legal action because they will lose their right to sue.

It is also important to note that certain exceptions to the relevant statute of limitations could apply. These exceptions are based on the details surrounding your claim and could toll the statute of limitations that applies to your claim. Considering that your case involves a child, it is important that you are aware that exceptions could apply in cases involving child victims. Specifically, if the victim is a child, the statute of limitations could be tolled until the victim becomes a legal adult, allowing the victim to file his or her claim independently. Of course, if parents are pursuing the claim, this exception does not apply.

As mentioned above, failing to file your claim on time could result in losing the right to sue; therefore, it is important that you have a thorough understanding of the deadline that applies to your claim. For more information about the time that you have to file your claim, do not hesitate to contact our firm today.

On Friday, February 7, 2020, an unfortunate fire took the life of one person and left seven others injured. So far, investigators believe that the early-morning fire in a Mid-City neighborhood hotel was ignited by a space heater.

According to reports, emergency crews responded to reports of a fire at the two-story building, Venice Hotel, located in the 8600 block of Venice Boulevard; the fire started just after 2 a.m. according to the fire department.

When the firefighters arrived on the scene, both smoke and fire filled the first floor of the building. Aerial footage of the incident also shows the second floor engulfed in flames, flames that actually burned through the ceiling. Residents were trying to escape; some were going out of their windows. Firefighters’ efforts included both quickly addressing the flames as well as helping residents evacuate.

It ultimately took more than 100 firefighters approximately 40 minutes to extinguish the fire. But even after the fire had been put out, the devastation was imminent.

One man, later identified as 62-year-old Paul Bisland, was found inside the building; unfortunately, he was pronounced dead at the scene. Many others were transported to local hospitals. One man remained in critical condition. Two others, a man and a woman, were transported in grave condition and later updated to serious condition. Another man was determined to be in fair condition.

Another man, who declined to be transported to a local hospital, was assessed at the scene for a minor injury. A firefighter was also evaluated for a respiratory issue, although it was determined to be non-life threatening. Another woman, victim of the fire, was later discovered; she had allegedly jumped or fallen from a second-story window during the incident and was transported to a hospital in a private vehicle. Her condition is serious, but she is expected to recover.

What caused the fire? According to preliminary investigations, the fire is believed to have started because of a space heater. That is, combustible materials were left too close to a space heater, resulting in the fire igniting. According to the fire department, the constant heat emitted by space heaters is enough to ignite combustible materials.

Without a doubt, this devastating incident has shaken the community. It has also left the community with many questions. Some of the questions include the following:

• Could the incident have been prevented?
• Could the hotel owner have done something differently to reduce the risk of a fire?
• Did the hotel have a fire alarm, smoke alarm, or sprinkler system?
• Did the hotel have the appropriate fire exits or escapes?

Although the fire has been determined to be accidental, it could have possibly. If you or a member of your family were harmed because of the fire in the incident discussed above, you might have grounds to pursue a claim. Depending on the details surrounding the incident, you and your family might have grounds to take legal action.

If you would like to learn more about the possibility of pursuing a claim for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our law firm at your earliest convenience.

At Normandie Law Firm, our lawyers have many years of experience handling all sorts of claims – including those arising from fire incidents in hotels and motels, for example. If you would like to discuss your claim with the experts at our law firm, do not hesitate to contact our firm at your earliest convenience. Our knowledgeable attorneys are ready to provide you with all the information that you need to pursue your claim against the party or entity liable for the harm that you or your family suffered.

The Danger Associated with Fires in Hotels

As explained above, the fire is believed to have started because of a space heater – a space heater that was too close to combustible items (which could include clothing, curtains, bedding, etc.). The fire ignited in the early hours of the morning, at approximately 2 a.m. Most people in the hotel were likely already sleeping.

Without a doubt, fires could result in burn injuries as well as smoke inhalation injuries. Burn injuries could range in severity – different layers of the skin, nerves, muscles, and even bones could be severely affected. The inhalation of the hot, thick smoke resulting from a raging fire can cause internal burns of the respiratory system; nasal passages, airways, and even the lungs could be burned. Smoke inhalation could also result in oxygen deprivation, which could cause unconsciousness and, if prolonged, brain damage as well as death.

In the frustration and desperation that affected parties were living at the time of the fire, some of them decided to jump from their windows. Doing so might have resulted in a number of broken bones.

In addition to physical injuries, the parties directly affected by the fire also likely suffered a number of other damages. Property damage is likely to be significant, especially considering that many of the affected parties were long-term residents of the hotel.

Who is Liable?

Who is liable for the harm or damages resulting from a hotel fire? In general, hotel owners have a duty to ensure that their guests are safe while on their premises. They must ensure that there are no risks on the premises that could potentially harm their guests. When they fail to address the risks on their property that could contribute to incidents, hotel owners could be liable.

Some possible hazards that could contribute to incidents include the following:

• Space heaters that are locked onto certain surfaces. In many hotels and motels, small appliances are locked onto surfaces to prevent theft. If a space heater, for example, can only be used on a table that is close to curtains, this could represent a fire hazard.
• No smoke detectors in the room. The Hotel and Motel Fire Safety Act of 1990 requires that hotels and motels have smoke detectors in each room. Smoke detectors can warn hotel/motel guests of the presence of smoke and the possibility of fire, allowing them to exit the premises promptly.
• No emergency exit plans. Hotels and motels are required to make floorplan information as well as emergency exit plan information available to guests. By failing to provide this information to guests, hotel owners are putting their guests in danger.
• Emergency exits are blocked off. Emergency exits should never be blocked off. If emergency exits are blocked, it could be impossible for guests to escape the flames. By failing to ensure that emergency exits are clear, they are putting their guests at risk of harm.

Based on the situation – if the negligent actions of the hotel or motel owner contributed to the hazard that led to the harm/damages suffered – the hotel or motel owner might be liable. To learn more about establishing liability, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm at your earliest convenience.

What Can Affected Parties Do?

What can you do if you and members of your family were affected by a fire at a hotel or motel? Depending on the details surrounding the incident, you might have grounds to sue. As explained above, hotel owners could be liable for the harm associated with fires on their premises under some circumstances; therefore, affected parties might have grounds to sue.

If hotel guests made complaints of safety hazards, copies of these complaints could be beneficial in holding the hotel liable, since copies of complaints could prove that the hotel owner was aware of the hazards. Photos of the hazards would also be beneficial. However, considering that this evidence was likely destroyed in the fire, affected parties should simply seek legal assistance immediately to further explore the possibility of taking legal action against the hotel owner.

Could You Recover Compensation?

If you sue and reach a successful claim outcome, you could be eligible to recover monetary compensation for the harm/damages that you and your family suffered. What type of compensation could you be eligible to recover?

Based on the details surrounding your claim, you could be eligible to recover compensation for some of the following:

• Medical costs
• Lost income
• Property damage
• Pain and suffering
• Funeral and burial costs
• Loss of consortium
• Punitive damages
• Relocation costs

There is no guarantee regarding the type and amount of compensation that you could be eligible to receive; therefore, you should meet with an attorney immediately to learn more about the compensation available for your claim. To learn more about what you could recover, do not hesitate to contact the experts at our law firm immediately. Our fire incident attorneys are ready to aggressively fight for your right to recover the compensation that you are rightfully owed.

The Statute of Limitations

As explained above, affected victims and their families might have grounds to take legal action against hotels. However, there is only a short length of time available for affected parties to sue. In general, affected parties are subject to a two-year statute of limitations, which establishes a two-year deadline. In other words, affected parties typically have only two years to file their claims. Failing to file on time could result in losing the right to sue. To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the deadline that applies to your claim, do not hesitate to contact the experts at our law firm as soon as possible.

On November 12, 2019, Hooey issued a recall for their children’s sweatshirts with drawstrings. According to the recall, number 20-018, the drawstrings in the hoods of the sweatshirts pose a strangulation hazard to children. Specifically, the drawstrings could suddenly become entangled or caught on different things that children are often around, such as playground slides, hand rails, bus doors, and many other moving objects; this poses a significant strangulation risk to children.

According to the recall, approximately 6,600 units have been affected by the recall. The recall includes fifteen styles of the sweatshirts – all of which are sized in boys’ and girls’ youth ranging from XS to XL. The sweatshirts can be identified with the “Hooey” brand or logo as well as the drawstrings in the hood. The sweatshirts typically only have one front pocket. In the center back neck of the sweatshirt, a white size label contains the word “Hooey” as well as “Made in China.” The sweatshirts are made from both polyester and cotton.

The recalled sweatshirts were sold at Boot Barn, Orscheln’s, Cavenders, and other western wear apparel stores. The sweatshirts were sold from September 2017 to October 2019 – for approximately $45 each.

According to the recall, there have been no incidents or injuries reported. The company is urging all consumers to take the recalled sweatshirts away from their children and remove the drawstring from the hood to eliminate the strangulation hazard.

It is possible that there have been incidents and injuries associated with the recalled sweatshirts that have not been reported. If your child suffered any sort of harm because of the hazardous sweatshirts that were made available by Hooey, you might have grounds to take legal action.

Specifically, you might have grounds to pursue a product liability claim against Hooey. Hooey could be held accountable for negligently making the sweatshirts available to consumers and putting innocent children at risk of injury. If you would like to explore the possibility of taking legal action against Hooey if your child suffered any sort of harm because of the hazardous sweatshirts, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance immediately – you could trust the experts at Normandie Law Firm.

At Normandie Law Firm, our lawyers have many years of experience handling all sorts of claims, including product liability claims. Our product liability lawyers have many years of experience handling all sorts of claims and helping consumers hold companies liable for all the harm that their defective products cause. If your child suffered any sort of harm because of the hazardous sweatshirts, you could trust our lawyers to provide you with the guidance that you need to file a claim and fight for your right to be compensated.

The Severity of the Strangulation Risk

To understand the severity of the strangulation risk present in the recalled sweatshirts, it is essential to have a thorough understanding of strangulation. Without a doubt, strangulation could cause the closure of blood vessels as well as the closure of air passages. There are three separate mechanisms from which strangulation could occur. These include the following:

• Venous obstruction: the constriction of the jugular veins cause congested blood vessels and increased venous and intracranial pressure.
• Carotid artery obstruction: stops blood flow and prevents oxygen from getting to the brain.
• Carotid pressure: pressure on the carotid sinus causes cardiac arrest and/or acute bradycardia.

Without a doubt, strangulation could be fatal. However, survivors of strangulation typically suffer a variety of injuries, which could include some of the following:

• Soft tissue injuries (in the neck)
• Esophagus injuries
• Larynx injuries
• Trachea injuries
• Cervical spine injuries
• Laryngeal injuries
• Facial nerve injuries

Regardless of the specific harm resulting from the strangulation, the harm could have been avoided. If the strangulation injuries that your child suffered were a direct result of the negligent actions of Hooey, you might have grounds to hold the company accountable for the harm suffered.

Understanding Product Liability

Who is liable for the harm that your child suffered? Many people are quick to blame parents for failing to see the dangers associated with certain products before it is too late. However, parents purchase products for their children under the assumption that they are completely safe. Parents trust the companies that manufacture products for their children.

All companies that manufacture products for consumers, such as Hooey, have a duty of care towards their consumers. They must ensure that their products are completely safe for consumer use. To ensure that their products are completely safe to be used by consumers, companies must subject their products to thorough inspections and tests to identify any risks in their products. As soon as any hazardous condition is identified, the hazard must be quickly addressed. Dangers with products should be addressed before making the products available to the public.

So, these companies have a duty of care towards their consumers – to ensure that their products are safe for consumer use. When they fail to identify and address issues with their products prior to making them available for purchase, they are breaching their duty of care towards their consumers and putting them at risk of injury.

As soon as companies breach their duty of care and contribute to the harm that innocent consumers suffer, they could be liable for all harm suffered and held accountable. If you would like to learn more about establishing liability for the harm resulting from a defective or recalled product, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance from our product liability attorneys as soon as possible.

Your Right to Sue and Receive Compensation

If your child suffered any type of harm in association with the recalled sweatshirts, you might have grounds to sue and receive compensation. If you can prove that Hooey negligently made the hazardous sweatshirts available to consumers, you will likely have grounds to pursue a claim for the harm that your child suffered.

If your claim reaches a successful outcome, you could be eligible to recover compensation. Could you really be eligible to recover monetary compensation? How much compensation could you receive? What type of compensation could you recover? The value of your claim and the potential compensation that you could be eligible to receive depends strictly on the details surrounding your claim (and the harm that was suffered, for example).

In general, claimants filing product liability claims can recover some of the following compensation:

• Medical expenses
• Lost income
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of consortium
• Funeral and burial costs
• Punitive damages

For many people, the possibility of recovering compensation motivates them to pursue a claim. Many others believe that there is no amount of monetary compensation that could mend the harm suffered. Whatever you believe, there is no doubt that recovering monetary compensation can help you and your entire family move forward from such a traumatic time in your lives.

When you allow the experts at our firm to handle your claim, you can be certain that you will always have someone aggressively fighting for your right to recover the highest amount of compensation available for your claim. If you would like to learn more about the type and amount of compensation that you could be eligible to receive, do not hesitate to contact our firm at your earliest convenience.

Your Time to Sue is Limited

Are you considering the possibility of filing a claim for the harm caused by the recalled sweatshirts? If so, it is essential that you file your claim within the appropriate length of time. All claims are subject to a statute of limitations – a deadline to sue. If claimants do not file within the appropriate time allowed by the applicable statute of limitations, they will lose their right to sue.

In California, claimants typically are subject to a two-year statute of limitations. The parents of children directly affected by the recalled sweatshirts will only have two years to file their claims. However, certain exceptions could apply that could affect the applicable deadline. One exception, in specific, applies when the victim is underage. In these cases, the statute of limitations is tolled until the victim is eighteen or is legally emancipated. So, although parents can sue within the two-year deadline, surviving victims could sue directly once they are of age – only then, will the statute of limitations start running.

To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the deadline that could apply to your claim, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance at your earliest convenience.

What Should You Do?

If you were harmed by a defective product, there are a number of things that you should do. Following the recommended steps allows you to prepare to file a claim. Consider the following:

• Take photos of any visible injuries
• Seek immediate medical attention
• Take photos of the defective product
• Stop use of the defective product
• Keep the defective product in a safe place – away from children
• Do not tamper with the defective product in any way
• Contact the company to report the harm suffered
• Do not accept a refund or a replacement
• Gather all proof of purchase
• Seek legal assistance immediately

Michaels Recalls Tassel Keychain Power Banks due to Fire Hazard

On April 23, 2020, Naturo Sciences issued a recall for their Eiji Essentials Wintergreen Essential Oil. According to the recall, number 20-737, the product contains methyl salicylate; therefore, it must be in child resistant packaging. The packaging of the recalled product is not child resistant; therefore, it violates the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA) and represents a poisoning risk to children. The recall has affected approximately 1,200 products.

The recall specifically involves the Wintergreen Essential Oil, which was available in a 5 mL amber glass bottle (with a black label and a black cap). On the label, “Eiji,” “Wintergreen,” “100% Pure Essential Oil,” as well as the volume of the bottle can be found printed. The Eiji logo is blue, and the product name is white. On the bottom of the bottle, the lot number (6321C) is printed.

The essential oils included in the recall were available online via Groupon.com, Walmart.com, and Amazon.com. They were available for approximately $7 each from December 2017 through April 2020. According to the recall, allegedly no incidents or injuries have been reported associated with the defective product.

The company is urging all consumers affected by the recall to store the product in an area out of the reach of children and contact them for a refund. The company is contacting known purchasers of the recalled product directly.

What should you do? Should you contact the company and agree to a refund? If your child never suffered any harm associated with the defective product, it makes sense to simply get a refund for the value of the recalled product. But what if your child did suffer harm? What if your child gained access to the defective product, ingested the essential oil, and suffered poisoning? If your child suffered harm associated with the defective product, you should never consider the possibility of simply agreeing a refund. The harm that your child suffered is worth much more than $7. Although monetary recovery will not reverse the harm that your young child suffered due to the defective product, you could be legally entitled to compensation.

Instead of simply agreeing to a product refund, you should explore the legal options available to you. Based on the details surrounding the incident, you might have grounds to file a product liability claim against Naturo Sciences. If you would like to explore the legal options available to you, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the product liability lawyers at our firm as soon as possible. Our lawyers are ready to evaluate your claim and provide you with the guidance that you need to reach a successful claim outcome.

The Defect and the Risk of Poisoning

As explained above, the recalled product is not contained in child-resistant packaging, as required by the PPPA. The product contains methyl salicylate, which can be dangerous if ingested. The PPPA requires that dangerous substances are packaged in child-resistant packaging to reduce the risk that the substances represent to children. Because the product is not in child-resistant packaging, a young child could easily access the substance, ingest it, and suffer poisoning. Some of the most common symptoms associated with methyl salicylate poisoning include the following:

• Kidney failure
• Eye irritation and loss of vision
• Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
• Swelling of the throat
• Low blood pressure (and collapse in severe cases)
• Inability to breath, difficulty breathing, and rapid breathing
• Dizziness, drowsiness, and headaches
• Fever and seizures
• Agitation, hallucinations, and confusion
• Coma
• Nausea and vomiting (potentially bloody vomiting)

Although it is possible for victims of methyl salicylate poisoning to recover, recovery is based on prompt treatment (and the level of methyl salicylate in the blood). If the child ingests a high amount of the product and treatment is delayed, it is possible for the poisoning to be fatal.

Regardless of the specific details surrounding the situation, if your child suffered harm due to the defective product, you might have grounds to pursue a product liability claim. You should seek legal assistance as soon as possible and explore the legal options available for your specific situation.

The Concept of Product Liability

Based on the concept of product liability, the consumers affected by defective products might have grounds to sue for the harm directly caused by the defective product. This is because all companies owe their consumers a duty of care – a duty to ensure that their products are completely safe for consumers to use. This also means that companies must adhere to regulations (such as the PPPA) that promote product safety. They must test and inspect their products to be able to identify and address the hazards present – before making the products available to consumers. When companies fail to do this, they are breaching their duty of care; they are also putting their consumers at risk of suffering harm. Because of this, whenever a consumer suffers harm as a direct result of a defective product, the company could be liable (since the company made the defective product available for consumers in the first place). In addition, affected consumers could sue the at-fault companies. If you would like to learn more about product liability and your right to sue after your child suffered methyl salicylate poisoning due to a defective product, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our law firm as soon as possible. Our lawyers are ready to provide you with the guidance that you need to reach a successful claim outcome.

Recovering Monetary Compensation

Based on the details surrounding your claim against Naturo Sciences, you might have grounds to recover monetary compensation for the harm that your child suffered due to the methyl salicylate poisoning. You might be eligible to recover compensation for at least some of the following:

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of consortium
• Funeral/burial expenses
• Punitive damages

If you would like to learn more about the type and amount of compensation that you could be eligible to receive, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm as soon as possible. This is because the type and amount of compensation will always strictly be based on the details surrounding your claim, and only a knowledgeable attorney can help you gain a better understanding of the compensation that you could be eligible to recover. For more information regarding the possibly recovery available if your claim reaches a successful outcome, contact the product liability lawyers at our firm as soon as possible. Our lawyers are ready to aggressively fight for your right to recover the highest amount of compensation available for your claim.

What Should You Do?

As explained above, based on the concept of product liability, you could pursue a claim for the harm that your child suffered due to a defective product. In addition, you and your family could be eligible to recover financial compensation for the harm suffered. Regardless, it is essential that you act accordingly so that you preserve your right to sue and recover compensation.

What should you do? Consider the following recommendations:

• Seek medical attention immediately
• Remove the defective product from the reach of children
• Take photos of visible harm (i.e. if your child looks ill)
• Take photos of the defective product
• Take photos of the scene of the incident (before any clean-up)
• Contact the company to report the incident and the resulting harm
• Do not agree to a free repair or a free replacement
• Do not agree to return the defective product
• Do not agree to a refund
• Gather any home surveillance video that might have captured the incident
• Speak to witnesses and gather their contact information
• Gather all relevant medical records
• Gather all records associated with the purchased of the defective product
• Seek legal assistance with our defective product attorneys as soon as possible

When you follow the recommendations mentioned above, you and your family are essentially gathering all the tools necessary to pursue a product liability claim and hold the negligent company accountable for the harm suffered. For more information about the steps that you should follow after your child suffered poisoning associated with a defective product, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm as soon as possible.

File Within the Statute of Limitations

In addition to following the recommendations listed above, it is also important that you file your claim within the time allowed by the statute of limitations. What is a statute of limitations? A statute of limitations determines the specific length of time that claimants have to file their claims. If claimants fail to file their product liability claims within the time allowed by the statute of limitations, they could lose their right to sue completely.

What deadline applies to your product liability claim against Naturo Sciences for the harm that your child suffered due to the defective product? In general, product liability claims pursued within the statute of limitations are subject to a two-year statute of limitations; therefore, claimants only have two years to file their claims. However, it is possible for exceptions to the statute of limitations to apply, which means that the statute of limitations could be tolled (based on the details surrounding your claim).

Because understanding the applicable deadline is such an important aspect of pursuing a product liability claim, you should discuss your current situation with the experts at our firm to ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the total length of time that you have to file your claim. Do not hesitate to contact our experts today.

Willis Electric recalls Artificial Christmas Trees Burn Risk
Miles Industries Recalls gas Fireplaces
Manhattan Toy recalls Activity Toy

On July 23, 2020, Willis Electric issued a recall for their Home Accents Holiday artificial Christmas trees. According to the recall, number 20-153, the Christmas tree’s foot-pedal controller can overheat, resulting in a burn risk to consumers. The recall has affected approximately 99,000 products in the U.S.

The recall specifically includes the mode-switching foot-pedal controllers that were included with the 7.5 feet and 9 feet 2019 Home Accent Holiday artificial pine Christmas trees. The recall includes the following model numbers and SKU numbers:

• Model W14N0127 with SKU numbers 1004391988 and 1004147107
• Model W14N0157 with SKU numbers 1004363928 and 1004213736
• Model W14N0126 with SKU numbers 1004363929 and 1004213737
• Model W14N0149 with SKU number 1004213744
• Model W14N0148 with SKU number 1004213742

The SKU numbers can be found on the label located on the Christmas tree’s cord.

The defective artificial Christmas trees were sold exclusively at Home Depot for prices ranging from $80 to $360; they were available from June 2019 through December 2019. According to the company, there have been at least 509 reports of incidents in which the foot-pedal overheated; this includes at least one report of a burn injury.

The company is urging all affected consumers to stop using the foot-pedal controllers, dispose of it, and contact them for a free replacement. Should you agree to getting a free replacement if the Christmas tree that you own is part of the recall? If you or a member of your family suffered harm due to the defective product, you should not follow the suggestions made by the company. Instead, you should consider pursuing a claim. Specifically, you should consider the possibility of pursuing a product liability claim against Willis Electric.

Are you interested in pursuing a product liability claim with the assistance of our experts? If so, do not hesitate to contact Normandie Law Firm as soon as possible.

Our product liability lawyers are ready to evaluate your claim and provide you with the guidance that you need to hold Willis Electric accountable for the harm caused by their defective product. If you are ready to speak with our lawyers, do not hesitate to contact our firm today.

The Defective Product and the Risk of Burn Injuries

As explained above, the foot-pedal controller that comes with the artificial Christmas trees can overheat, resulting in a significant burn risk. If a consumer steps on a foot-pedal controller that is overheating, the consumer could possibly suffer burns to his or her foot. It is also possible for the overheating foot-pedal controller to come into contact with flammable material, which can ignite and start a fire. A fire could cause burn injuries, smoke inhalation injuries, and even death. In addition, fires can lead to extensive property damage. Regardless of the harm resulting from the defective product, affected consumers should remain aware of their rights as consumers – including their right to sue.

Product Liability: You Could Sue

If you or a member of your family suffered harm as a direct result of a defective product, you could sue – you could sue based on product liability. Based on the concept of product liability, all companies owe their consumers a duty of care. Companies have the duty to ensure that all their products are completely safe for their consumers to use. They must test and inspect their products to ensure that they can identify and address any hazards present in their products. Although this duty of care exists, companies often fail to exercise their duty of care; instead, they breach their duty of care. They fail to identify and address the defects present in their products, and they put their consumers at significant risk of harm.

Whenever a consumer suffers harm as a direct result of a defective product, the company could be liable for the harm suffered. In other words, if a breach of duty contributes to the harm that a consumer suffers, the company could he held accountable. Affected consumers could file product liability claims against at-fault companies. If you would like to learn more about your right to sue based on the concept of product liability, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm as soon as possible.

Could I Be Compensated?
Based on the details surrounding your product liability claim, you could be eligible to recover monetary compensation for the damages resulting from the defective product. What could you be eligible to recover? If your claim is successful, you could be eligible to recover compensation for some of the following:

• Medical expenses
• Lost earnings
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of consortium
• Funeral and burial expenses
• Property damage
• Punitive damages

To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the type and amount of compensation available for recovery (given that your claim is successful), do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm as soon as possible. Our lawyers are ready to evaluate your claim and help you understand the specific type and amount of compensation that you could be eligible to receive. When you allow the experts at our firm to handle your product liability claim, you can trust that our lawyers are ready to aggressively fight for your right to recover the highest amount of compensation available for your claim. Our lawyers will not rest until you recover what you are owed.

What Should Consumers Do?

All consumers who have been harmed by defective products in one way or another should act appropriately to ensure that they can eventually pursue a product liability claim against the company liable for all the harm suffered. What should you do? After being harmed by a defective product, you should do the following:

• Stop using the defective product (unplug it immediately)
• Take photos of the defective product
• Take photos of the injuries suffered
• Take photos of all property damage
• Seek medical attention as soon as possible
• Contact the company to report the incident and harm suffered
  • Do not agree to return the defective product
  • Do not agree to a free repair
  • Do not agree to a free replacement
• Speak to any witnesses present at the time of the incident
• Gather any surveillance footage that might have captured the incident
• Collect all relevant records – including medical records, property damage records, and records of the purchase of the defective product
• Seek legal assistance immediately

Following the steps listed above is essential to being able to eventually pursue a claim against the at-fault company. If you would like to learn more about the importance of following the steps listed above, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with our experts as soon as possible.

The Statute of Limitations to File Your Claim

Although you could have the right to sue based on the concept of product liability, it is important that you have a thorough understanding of the total length of time that you have to pursue your claim. All claims are subject to a statute of limitations, which determines the deadline that applies to your claim. If you do not file your claim within the appropriate length of time, you could lose your right to sue. To preserve your right to take legal action against Willis Electric or any other company that negligently contributed to the harm that you suffered, you must be aware of the statute of limitations that applies to your claim.

How long do you have to pursue your product liability claim against Willis Electric? In California, product liability claims are normally subject to a two-year statute of limitations, like other personal injury claims. If claimants do not file their claims within the allowed two years, they could lose their right to sue; that is, they will be unable to pursue a claim for the harm that they suffered due to the defective product. However, exceptions could apply – exceptions that could toll the applicable deadline. To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the deadline that applies to your claim, do not hesitate to contact our firm today.

Miles Industries recalls Gas Fireplaces
Manhattan Toy recalls Activity Toy
Cooper Lighting Solutions recalls Light Fixture

On July 30, 2020, Miles Industries issued a recall for their Valor H5 gas fireplace. According to the recall, number 20-768, delayed ignition associated with pilot degradation can cause gas in the fireplace to accumulate before the burner ignites. When ignition occurs, the glass window can shatter; this poses both burn and laceration risks to consumers. The recall has affected approximately 370 products in the U.S. This is not the first time the fireplaces have been recalled.

The recall specifically involved the Model 1150ILP and Model 1150JLP of the Valor H5 propane gas fireplaces. Model 1150ILP has a serial number range of 20001 to 20365. Model 1150JLP has a serial number range of 20366 to 21502. Model numbers and serial numbers can be found printed on the rating sheet located behind the trim. The affected fireplaces were available in seven trim and front options; they also came with a log set and a mesh screen barrier (which was installed in front of the glass). The fireplaces are fully enclosed in a rectangular sheet-metal box (with a glass front). The fireplaces have an exhaust that is vented to the outside via a ventilation duct.

The defective fireplaces were sold at Southern Fireplaces & More, On Fire, Custome Hearth, Abercrombie & Co., Southern Hearth & Patio stores, as well as other Specialty Hearth stores. The fireplaces were available from July 2014 through March 2020 for prices ranging between $3,700 and $5,500. There was an additional fee for installation.

According to the recall, the company has received at least one report of delayed ignition of the fireplace; however, allegedly, no injuries have been reported.

The company is urging all affected consumers to immediately stop using the recalled fireplaces and contact the retailer or contractor to schedule a free repair. The company is contacting known consumers directly.

Without a doubt, it is important that the company offers repairs for the defective products that they negligently made available to consumers. However, some consumers might be owed much more than just a free repair. Did you or your family suffer harm associated with the defective product recalled by Miles Industries? If the defective fireplace directly harmed you or a member of your family, it is important that you know that you might have grounds to sue the company.

Based on the details surrounding the incident and the harm that you or your family suffered, you might have grounds to file a product liability claim for the harm/damages caused by the defective product. This means that you might have grounds to hold the company accountable for the harm suffered due to the defective fireplace. If you are interested in learning more about your right to sue, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm as soon as possible.

At Normandie Law Firm, our lawyers have many years of experience handling all sorts of claims – including product liability claims. Our lawyers are ready to provide you with the guidance that you need to hold the negligent company accountable for the harm that you or a member of your suffered associated with the defective products. If you are interested in the possibility of pursuing a claim against Miles Industries for the harm resulting from their defective gas fireplaces, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm as soon as possible. Our lawyers are ready to evaluate your claim and help you sue for the compensation that you are owed.

The Defect Associated with the Defective Product

As explained above, an issue with delayed ignition can cause gas to accumulate in the fireplace prior to ignition. Therefore, when the burner ignites, the glass window of the fireplace can shatter; this poses a burn and laceration risk to consumers. Unsuspecting consumers could suffer lacerations due to the shattering glass; the shattered glass could be launched outwards, resulting in a number of injuries including facial injuries, eye injuries, lacerations, and even nerve or ligament damage. These injuries could cause permanent scarring and other permanent damage. The defective product also represents a burn risk to consumers. Consumers could suffer burns varying in degrees, which could result to damage to the skin, the muscles, the nerves/ligaments, and even the bones. Burn injuries are likely to lead to permanent scarring, loss of mobility, loss of function, and loss of feeling. In severe cases, burn injuries can also lead to amputations. Regardless of the specific harm that you or a member of your family suffered as a direct result of the defective product, you should explore the possibility of holding the company that released the defective product accountable for all the harm suffered.

Liability for Incidents and Harm Resulting from Defective Products

Who is liable for the incidents and harm caused by a defective product? Depending on the details surrounding the incident, the company that made the defective product available for consumers could be liable for the harm suffered; this is based on the concept of product liability. Product liability means that all companies owe their consumers a duty of care – a duty to ensure that their products are completely safe for consumers to use. Companies must test and inspect their products to be able to identify and address any of the hazards present in the product (before making it available to the public). When companies fail to do this, they are breaching their duty of care towards their consumers; they are also putting their consumers at risk of suffering significant harm. When a consumer suffers harm as a direct result of a breached duty of care (represented by a defective product), the company that made the defective product available could be liable for all harm resulting from the incident. In other words, an affected consumer could hold the company accountable and file a product liability lawsuit for the damages caused by a defective product. If you would like to learn more about product liability and your right to sue, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm as soon as possible.

What Should Affected Consumers Do?

Were you and your family harmed by the defective gas fireplace? If so, there are a number of things that you should do to ensure that you could hold the company accountable for the harm resulting from the incident. What should you do? Consider some of the recommendations listed below:

• Take photos of all the harm suffered, including burn injuries and lacerations
• Take photos of the entire scene of the incident
• Take photos of the defective product
• Seek medical care for the harm suffered
• Contact the company to report the incident as well as the harm suffered
• Do not agree to a free repair, a free replacement, or a refund
• Do not agree to return the defective product under any circumstances (the defective product will be the primary source of evidence)
• Speak to witnesses present at the time of the incident
• Collect any home surveillance footage that might have captured the incident
• Collect all relevant medical records associated with the defective product
• Gather records associated with the purchase of the defective product (order confirmations, receipts, etc.)
• Seek legal assistance with the experts at our law firm as soon as possible

If you would like to learn more about the steps that you should follow after being harmed by a defective product, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm today. Our lawyers will evaluate your claim and guide you every step of the way.

You Might Be Eligible to Recover Compensation

Based on the details surrounding your product liability claim, you could be eligible to recover monetary compensation for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered. How much compensation could you be awarded? What type of compensation could you be eligible to receive? The type and amount of compensation that you could recover will always be based on the details surrounding your claim; some of the compensation you could receive could include some of the following:

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Property damage
• Loss of consortium
• Funeral and burial costs
• Punitive damages

The type and amount of compensation that you could be eligible to receive will always be based on the details surrounding your claim; therefore, it is essential that you discuss your claim with an experienced attorney to learn more about the potential recovery associated with your claim. For more information about what you could be eligible to recover, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with our product liability lawyers as soon as possible. Our lawyers are ready to aggressively fight for the highest amount of compensation available for your claim.

File Within the Statute of Limitations

Did you know that you could lose your right to sue if you fail to file your claim within the appropriate length of time? This is because all claims are subject to a deadline – or a statute of limitations. A statute of limitations determines the specific time that claimants have to pursue their claims. If they fail to file their claims within the appropriate length of time, claimants could lose their right to sue. What deadline applies to your claim? In general, product liability claims in the state of California are subject to a two-year statute of limitations; this means that claimants only have two years to file their claims. However, it is also important for claimants to be aware that exceptions to the statute of limitations, which could toll or pause the time to sue, could apply based on the details surrounding the claim. To ensure that you have an in-depth understanding of the time that you have to pursue your claim against Miles Industries, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm as soon as possible.

Cookware Company recalls Dutch Ovens
DownEast Outfitters recalls Folding Mattress

On July 22, 2020, DownEast Outfitters issued a recall for the Mattress on the Go folding mattresses. According to the recall, number 20-155, the mattresses fail to meet the federal flammability standard for mattresses, which is mandatory; therefore, the mattress represents a fire risk to consumers. The recall has affected approximately 1,600 products.

The recall specifically involves the Mattress on the Go folding mattresses, which can be used either as a small sofa or a chair. The mattresses are a two-tone gray color; they measure four inches when configured as a mattress. Only the twin mattresses are included in the recall. The mattress has a white tag located on the underside of the head panel with the following information: Downeast Home & Clothing, Item # 5540033515, and Made in China.

The defective folding mattresses were sold at DownEast stores nationwide; they were also donated to a number of facilities. The products were available from November 2017 through December 2019 for approximately $110.

According to the company, there have been no reported incidents or injuries. Regardless, the company is urging affected consumers to immediately stop using the mattresses and contact the company to receive a free fitted liner to cover the liner – and bring the mattress into compliance with the federal flammability standard.

Do you own the recalled mattress? Should you agree to receiving a free fitted liner for your mattress? The answer to this question depends on whether you or a member of your family were harmed because of the defective product. If the defective product directly contributed to the harm that you or a member of your family suffered, you should not consider following the recommendations made by the company; instead, you should consider taking legal action against the company that made the defective product available for consumers. Based on the details surrounding the incident (and the harm that you or a member of your family suffered), you might have grounds to file a product liability claim.

If you are interested in learning more about your right to file a product liability claim against DownEast Outfitters for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered due to a defective product, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm as soon as soon as possible. At Normandie Law Firm, our lawyers are ready to evaluate your claim and provide you with the guidance that you need to reach a successful claim outcome. Our product liability lawyers are ready to help you sue DownEast Outfitters for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered. If you are ready to speak with our experts, contact Normandie Law Firm today.

Understanding the Risk Associated with the Defective Product

In 2007, the Federal flammability standard was implemented. The standard requires mattresses manufactured and imported in the country to meet a strict performance standard; it is designed to reduce the severity of mattress-related fires. Why is this so important? Most house fires start in the kitchen; however, the second-leading location of house fires is the bedroom. More specifically, fires that start in the bedroom are often associated with children playing with fire near mattresses and bedding – which can quickly ignite and contribute to the spread of the fire throughout the room and the rest of the house.

Because the recalled mattresses fail to meet the flammability standard, consumers at risk. If there is a fire, they could suffer significant burn injuries. They could also suffer smoke inhalation injuries. Oxygen deprivation, loss of consciousness, and brain damage are also likely. Without a doubt, death is also a possible outcome of a fire and fire-related injuries.

About Product Liability and Your Right to Sue

Based on the details surrounding the incident and the harm that you or a member of your family suffered, you might have grounds to sue. Specifically, you might have grounds to sue based on the concept of product liability. Based on product liability, companies owe consumers a duty of care – a duty to ensure that products are safe for consumers to use. Because of this, companies have to test and inspect their products to be able to identify and address any defects present. If companies fail to do this, they are breaching their duty of care; therefore, they could release defective products to consumers. Defective products could contribute to incidents which could directly harm consumers.

Because of product liability, the companies that make defective products available to consumers could be liable for all the harm resulting from defective products. This means that affected consumers could sue for the harm that they suffered. Specifically, consumers could pursue product liability claims against the companies that negligently made defective products available for consumers. If you would like to learn more about product liability and your right to sue, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm as soon as possible.

You Could Sue and Recover Compensation

As mentioned above, you might have grounds to sue based on the concept of product liability. If you pursue a claim, you could also be eligible to recover compensation for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered – that is, if your claim is successful. You could be eligible to recover compensation for some of the following:

• Medical expenses
• Lost earnings
• Pain and suffering
• Property damage
• Funeral and burial expenses
• Loss of consortium
• Punitive damages

The type and amount of compensation that you could be eligible to recover will always be based on the details surrounding the incident, the harm suffered, and, essentially, the entire claim. Because of that, you must discuss your claim with an experienced lawyer as soon as possible to learn more about the compensation that you could be eligible to recover. When you allow the product liability lawyers at our firm to handle your claim, you can trust that you will have someone aggressively fighting for your right to recover the highest amount of compensation available for your claim. Our product liability lawyers will not rest until you receive the compensation that you are owed.

In California, product liability claims are normally subject to a two-year statute of limitation, meaning that claimants have two years to pursue their claims. If claimants fail to file their claims within the time allowed by the statute of limitations, they will lose their right to sue. It is possible for exceptions to the statute of limitations to apply, potentially tolling or pausing the time available to sue.
