The Pool Safety Law Is Not Working | Toledo Ohio personal injury attorney

Pool safety is a crucial component any pool owner should have on file. As in 2002 when seven year old granddaughter of former Secretary of State James Baker died in a hot tub in northern Virginia. The girl died as a result of being trapped by the drain of the spa.

As a result of this incident and other similar instances, in 2007 Congress passed the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act to prevent further tragedies. This law required all states to bring their pool safety laws up to federal standards. No states have shown initiative to improve their pool safety to federal standards thus far.

The CPSC underwent an investigation with testing laboratories across the U.S and found that they applied safety standards inconsistently and incorrectly, resulting in hazardous covers for pools and spas. Charles E. Boyk Law Offices are ready and willing to support any individual injured in any incidence regarding pool injuries due to hazardous covers.
