Fort Worth Personal Injury Law Firm Issues Holiday Product Safety Reminder

(PRLEAP.COM) A holiday product safety reminder has been issued by Fort Worth personal injury lawyers Laird & Cummings, P.C. The holiday product safety reminder asks shoppers to be extra careful this holiday season in light of recent defective product cases involving dangerous toy recalls and other product recalls. As noted in the product safety reminder, several heavily-publicized product recalls in recent months have cause concerns about product safety. The reminder goes on to say that In 2007 the Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled more than 25 million toys and children’s items, many of them made in China. The agency has about 400 employees to monitor more than 15,000 types of products.

“It’s no wonder that consumers are concerned for their safety and the safety of their loved ones,” says attorney John Cummings, partner in the Fort Worth personal injury law firm of Laird & Cummings, P.C. “Toys contaminated with lead paint, foods laced with E. coli bacteria and children’s cold medicine with improper dosage instructions just heighten awareness of how some manufacturers and importers don’t seem to care about the negative impact of their products.”

“Congress is having trouble passing major legislation that gives the safety commission greater enforcement powers, although there has been a moderate increase in funding for the agency,” says Cummings. “Unfortunately it’s up to the consumer to be more mindful than ever of news reports on product recalls, recognize when a product they’re using may have a defect and be willing to report problems quickly.”

Laird & Cummings, P.C. is a Fort Worth, Texas, personal injury law firm that represents individual and families in cases involving personal injury, wrongful death, trucking accidents, construction site accidents, products liability and business litigation.
