Lake Jackson TX Personal Injury Lawyers: Child Safety & Dorel’s Car Seat Recall
Posted on Aug 03, 2011
Dorel, one of the most popular brands for children's car safety seats, issued a recall this year on about 800,000 of its seats made between May 1, 2008 and April 30, 2009. The safety hazard is a weak harness lock-release mechanism that could let your child spill out of the car seat. Some children have already suffered injuries from this defect. You can check whether your child's car seat is part of the recall here. If so, Dorel's recall announcement says it will provide a means to correct the problem for you.
Your child's safety occupies your thoughts more than your own when you're behind the wheel. You want to be able to rely on the car seat into which you have placed your precious burden. There are basic safety tips that you can follow to help ensure your child's safety on the road. The steps you should take to protect a child car passenger change as the child grows. Ideally, we recommend that a child not ride in the front seat of a car until he or she reaches the age of 14.
Statistics show that motor vehicle accidents claim the lives of more U.S. children during their first 14 years of life than any other cause. Many unexpected hazards exist out on the road. Unfortunately, when products contain defects, some of these dangers derive from the very vehicles and safety equipment intended to protect drivers and their families. Product recalls can help you address those hazards. But recalls often occur only after defective products have already caused injuries or fatalities.
