Chad McLain Discusses Toy Safety on Good Day Tulsa!

Each year thousands of children are severely injured in toy-related injuries. A report by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission estimated that in 2015 about 254,200 toy-related injuries occurred that required emergency room treatment.

Unfortunately, toy manufacturers still produce toys that could be potentially dangerous to children.

Attorney Chad McLain recently went on Good Day Tulsa to discuss hazardous toys and how to keep kids safe this holiday season.

If you missed the segment, you can watch it below.

When shopping for toys this holiday season, be sure to keep in mind the dangers toys could pose to your little ones. Some potential hazards toys could pose are:

  • Choking – toys with small parts could pose a serious threat to a child. The popular “Fidget Spinner” toy can actually come apart and if a child puts the pieces in their mouth, they could choke. Additionally, toys that come with removable accessories such as the “Brianna Mine to Love” toy could also cause a child to choke.
  • Strangulation – the industry requires strings on playpen and crib toys to be less than 12 inches in length, however, there is no regulation for “pull toys”. Toys such as the “Pull Along Pony’s” cord with cords measuring longer than 12 inches pose a strangulation/entanglement hazard.
  • Blunt force trauma – many toy swords on the market such as the “Wonder Woman Battle-Action Sword” have pointy tips. When children play with swords and jab at people, they could cause serious facial or other impact injuries.
  • Fire – some toys may actually be flammable so be sure to check the packaging before you purchase. Additionally, some toys such as the “Razor Jetts Heel Wheels” release sparks which can cause a fire and injury.

Graves McLain would like to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season!

  • My orthopedic doctor recommended Graves McLain Injury Lawyers, PLLC, to me following the need for revision hip surgery due to a hip from Stryker that was putting poison into my system. The doctor took care of the hip, and Graves McLain Injury Lawyers, PLLC, took care of the legal case. They were very thorough, professional, courteous, and always ready to answer the questions I had throughout the length of the case. In a word, the entire office is fantastic. I’m sure they were tired of my inquiries on the case’s progress, but they did not show it. They were always willing to respond and were very positive. If I ever have a claim in the future, they will be the first group to whom I reach out.
