According to the Wall Street Journal, personal injury resulting from nursery products were up 11% in 2006, accounting for 66,400 personal injuries. While not all of the personal injuries could be blamed on faulty products, many of the injuries resulting from nursery products may have been preventable.
Resulting from incidents involving nursery products such as cribs, high chairs, strollers, or baby baths, majority of the accidents involved some sort of fall, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Our Toledo, Ohio personal injury attorneys urge parents and caregivers to keep their children safe and free from personal injury by always knowing where they are and what they are doing, at all times. Use baby products correctly, according to manufacturers' instructions, and never sacrifice proper installment due to time restraints or a crying baby. Always use provided straps and restraints and never leave a child unattended in an elevated position such as in a high shair or on a changing table.
Two Toledoans testified Tuesday in front of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations in Washington on the government’s need for safer U.S. drug supplies, specifically referring to heparin, a popular blood thinner used during dialysis and open-heart surgery.
Both people who testified lost family members to complications caused by the drug, which were administered in local Toledo health care facilities.
From January 2007 until February 2008, at least 81 wrongful deaths have been linked to heparin, as well as 785 personal injuries from allergic reactions. The Toledo Blade reports that 62 of the 81 heparin deaths occurred between November 2007 and February 2008.
According to the New York Times, controversy surrounds heparin that the drug was intentionally contaminated, as found in the written testimony Janet Woodcock, director of the FDA's drug center. That is why stricter laws requiring more inspections of overseas companies may help the problem of unsafe drugs.
Our Toledo, Ohio personal injury attorneys urge patients to ask questions before taking any medication, in order to prevent personal injury. Find out why the drug is being used, if it can interact with any other medications you may be taking, as well as the side effects of the drugs. Avoid being the victim of medical malpractice by staying informed on your healthcare, as well as keeping your doctor informed on all aspects of your health.More than 35 people have suffered personal injury from a recent E. coli outbreak linked to beef sold at Ohio and Michigan Kroger stores, according to the Toledo Blade.
The recall targets beef that was sold at the stores from May 21 to June 8, and customers are instructed to discard any beef sold during that time, or return it to a Kroger store for a full refund.
More than 73,000 people suffer personal injury from E. coli infections each year, while 61 of those infected suffer wrongful death, according to newsinferno.com. The E. coli virus is especially dangerous to children and the elderly, since their immune systems are not as strong. Some strains, including the one found in Kroger beef, can lead to blood poisoning, cystitis, or swelling of the bladder, or septicemia, a potentially fatal infection.
Our Toledo, Ohio personal injury attorneys have handled these types of cases before, and urge consumers to look out for warning signs of an E. coli bacteria infection. Symptoms include severe stomachache or cramps, diarrhea, or vomiting. If you have become infected with the E. coli bacteria and need legal assistance, call our office 24 hours a day, seven days a week at 800.637.8170 or 419.241.1395 to set up a FREE consultation with an attorney.A settlement of more than $1 million was recently reached after a four-year-old boy ingested a pair of small magnets made by Rose Art, according to the Jere Beasley Report. The toys stuck together inside the boy’s digestive system, lodging in his pelvis. Surgery performed after two ER visits saved the boy from suffering wrongful death, but he will have digestive problems for the rest of his life, including abdominal pain, constipation, and diarrhea, and will be forced to always adhere to a strict diet.
The plaintiffs argued that even though there was a “choking hazard” warning label on the toy, the packaging did not disclose the severity of ingesting the magnets, or the serious personal injury that their magnetic attraction could cause.
Our Toledo, Ohio personal injury attorneys urge parents to carefully choose the toys their children play with, and supervise them at all times. Make sure the toys are age-appropriate, and cannot be swallowed.
