How Do Child Clothing Accidents Occur?
Serious clothing injuries are rare, but when they do occur, they can be devastating. For any family put in this terrible situation, it may be possible to hold the manufacturer responsible for not heeding regulations put in place to prevent these types of accidents.
Two of the most common child clothing accidents are:
- Burns: The Flammable Fabrics Act has made the manufacturing of children's clothing and sleepwear out of flammable material prohibited, but accidents continue to occur. As recently as 2012, children’s clothing was recalled due to federal violations concerning flammability.
- Strangulation: Strangulation is particularly a risk with children's hooded sweatshirts ("hoodies") that have drawstrings: During play, they can be caught by playground equipment or other items. While many clothing designers have stopped using drawstrings that pose strangulation hazards, these products are still available.
When children’s clothing designs include inherent dangers, you may be able to receive compensation for the injuries your child received and will continue to need treatment for.
