Fisher-Price Swing Recalls
Tennessee parents whose young children have a Fisher-Price cradle swing should be aware that the product has been recalled. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has received two reports of the moving seat falling out because of the peg that holds the seat in place becoming disengaged. So far, no injuries have been reported.
The swing can rock either back and forth or side to side. It includes a mobile and can run on different speeds. It appears that in the cases reported, the peg works it way out.

How Stapleton Law Offices Can Help
Some companies may be aware that a product is unsafe and fail to respond in a timely fashion. In circumstances like these, the injured person or their loved ones might want to have the assistance of counsel in filing a lawsuit against the company.
A person who is injured should document the incident because the company may try to claim that its product was not responsible. Injuries may range from mild to severe to fatal, and a person with catastrophic injuries might face a long recovery period and medical expenses. A successful lawsuit might result in enough compensation to cover these losses.
