Steps to Take if Your Child was Injured by a Defective Children's Product
Seek Immediate Medical Attention
Ensure your child receives prompt medical care. Document all injuries and treatments as this information will be vital for your claim.
Preserve the Defective Product
Keep the product, its packaging, and any receipts. Avoid making any repairs or alterations, as the product in its defective state is crucial evidence.
Report the Incident
Report the defective children’s product to the CPSC through their website or hotline. This helps initiate an investigation and potentially prevents further injuries.
