Fisher-Price Lawsuit: Liability and Money Damages

A product liability claim against Fisher-Price can be based on negligence, strict liability or breach of warranty of fitness depending on the jurisdiction where the claim is based.

Product liability is generally considered a strict liability offense. Strict liability wrongs do not depend on the degree of carefulness by the defendant. Translated to products liability terms, a defendant is liable when it is shown that the product is defective.

It is irrelevant whether the manufacturer or supplier exercised great care; if there is a defect in the product that causes harm, the manufacturer and/or supplier will be liable for it. In the case of a lawsuit involving a Fisher-Price product, our law firm would investigate to determine what companies in addition to Fisher-Price could be held liable. It is almost always in the injured person's best interests to have multiple defendents (people being sued for money damages).

From the moment we take a product liability case, we consider the issue of damages (money/compensation for the injured person and his or her family). People injured by defective products are entitled to receive money damages for such things as pain and suffering, medical bills, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, disability and disfigurement, emotional distress and, in some cases, loss of enjoyment of life.

Fisher-Price Recalls Involving Serious Injury or Death

The following Fisher-Price recalls involved serious injury to a child. Because the law does not give the federal government the authority to recall products, manufacturers have to voluntarily recall dangerous and defective products. Often, there is not a recall of a dangerous or defective product, and sometimes there is a recall, but it is months or years after the first report of serious injury or death. Because of this, it is possible that other Fisher-Price products not listed below have caused serious injury or death. If your child has been injured by any Fisher-Price product, contact a lawyer at our firm about a Fisher-Price lawsuit.
