As parents and guardians, we work hard to provide safe, healthy, happy lives for our babies. Tragically, defenseless babies too often fall victim to negligent or reckless behavior by others. A baby injury or death is a tragedy. The birth process itself is dangerous. When preventable injuries harm healthy babies, we demand and fight for justice.
Babies use many types of products. Unlike adults, babies are not aware of risks. They are particularly vulnerable to injury by-products including toys, cribs, strollers, and food. If products sold for use by babies are unduly dangerous – because of their design, a manufacturing flaw, unsafe handling or inadequate warning of risks –product liability cases can be made.
Unfortunately, not everyone operates with the same level of caution. If a baby is injured by reckless or negligent behavior, claims may be brought against manufacturers, suppliers, distributors and retailers. These claims can result in compensation for serious injuries, illness or deaths.
The law requires manufacturers to place only safe products in the market. Tragically, many products have come on the market, become popular with parents -and then caused injury or death. Often, companies respond to a defective product with a recall –after babies have been injured or killed. Many widely used categories of baby products have histories of recalls:
Babies are at risk of harm if they get their hands on a defective product or toy. Defective baby products commonly cause multiple types of injuries:
Product liability is a legal doctrine allowing plaintiffs to make a claim if they encounter a defective product. A defective product is a product which causes an injury. A product liability suit may be filed for injuries caused by reasons including:
In a product liability case, any company or individual responsible for putting the product in the market and getting it to the consumer could be legally responsible. Products liability claims most often emphasize the manufacturer of the product, but the “stream of commerce” can also include suppliers, distributors and retailers.
Product recalls are common and not, in themselves, admissions by a company. Recall campaigns can, however, benefit product liability plaintiffs, by providing details: how the company learned of the defect; how the error happened and who was responsible; who might have additional information. These details help build strong product liability cases.

I’m a 9/11 first responder, and I can honestly say that Parker Waichman made me feel like they had my best interest in my VCF case. Ms Candalino & Ms Viti are top notch in my book. I was constantly informed on the status of my case. I would definitely recommend Parker Waichman LLP to family and friends.
