Retirada del mercado de accesorios de apoyo para la cabeza y el cuello por riesgo de asfixia

En 23 de julio de 2019, The Boppy Company issued a recall (19-171) for their infant head and neck support accessories due to a suffocation hazard. More specifically, the head support area in the accessory can be overstuffed, causing infants’ heads to be tilted too far forward (chin to chest). This poses a severe suffocation hazard. According to the recall, approximately 14,000 units have been affected. Two styles – Ebony Floral and Heathered Gray – with model numbers 4150114 and 4150117 are included in the recall. The recalled products were sold a Buy Buy Baby, Target, juvenile products and discount stores nationwide and online at Amazon.com from March 2019 to May 2019; the products were sold for approximately $20 each. The recall states that there have been at least three separate reports de infants’ heads being pushed forward chin to chest by the overstuffed product; however, no injuries or deaths have been reported. The recall suggests that all consumers with the recalled head and neck support accessories to immediately stop using the product and contact the company for a full refund. Considering that there is no reported harm so far, it makes sense that the company would recommend this action. In fact, it makes perfect sense for consumers to simply get a refund for their inconvenience. Is it possible that there are unreported injuries? Unfortunately, infants can lose their lives. According to statistics from the CDC, there were approximately 1,400 infant deaths due to SIDS, approximately 1,300 infant deaths due to unknown causes, and approximately 900 deaths due to accidental suffocation and strangulation in bed. Roughly 26% of infant deaths are caused by accidental suffocation and strangulation. Because infants can simply die in their sleep, grieving parents often fail to make a direct connection between the death of their infant and any baby product that might have been defective.

Understanding the Severity of a Suffocation Risk

How hazardous is a risk of suffocation? Without a doubt, suffocation can cause death. Just a few minutes of suffocation could cause the death of an infant. However, suffocation is not exclusively associated with death. Survivors of suffocation could be left with permanent brain injuries. Even though the infant will survive, the permanent brain injuries suffered resulting from the suffocation will likely severely decrease his or her quality of life. Whether your infant lost his or her life or suffered permanent brain injuries as a result of the defective head and neck support accessory recalled by The Boppy Company, you will likely have grounds to take action and pursue a lawsuit. If you would like to learn more about the possibility of filing a claim after a defective product led to your infant’s suffocation, do not hesitate to contact our law firm as soon as possible.

Comprender la responsabilidad por productos defectuosos

All companies have a duty of care to their consumers. They have the duty to ensure that all their products are safe for consumer use prior to making them available for purchase. This means that they must constantly subject their products to inspections and tests to be able to identify any possible hazards that represent a significant risk to consumers. Companies must address all hazards prior to making their products available for purchase. By failing to identify and address hazards in their products, they are breaching their duty of care to consumers; they are also putting their consumers at risk of suffering harm. When the harm that their consumers suffer is a direct result of their breach of duty, companies could be held accountable for all the harm their consumers suffer. In product liability cases, any defect in labeling, design, or manufacturing, could clearly make the consumer liable for the harm suffered. If you are certain that a product defect contributed to the harm that your infant suffered, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance as soon as possible.

Su derecho a emprender acciones legales

Do you have the right to take action against the company that negligently made a defective product available to you? If the harm that your baby and your entire family suffered is directly related to the defective product, you will likely have grounds to pursue a claim. What type of claim could you pursue? The answer to that question depends on the specific details of your claim. In general, claimants could take some of the following actions:

• Presentar una reclamación de responsabilidad por productos defectuosos for the harm (such as permanent brain injuries) caused by the defective product
• File a reclamación por muerte injusta for the fatal harm suffered by the victim because of the defective product
• Participate in a class action lawsuit along with more victims of the defective product

What is the best option for pursuing a claim? If you are unsure of the type of claim that you should pursue, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance as soon as possible. Our experts are ready to evaluate your claim and help you take action against the company that contributed to the harm that you suffered.

What to do after being affected by a Defective Product

Unfortunately, many people lose their right to take action after being harmed by a defective product because they fail to take the appropriate actions. One of the most common mistakes that claimants make is following the suggestions laid out in the recall. The recall described above, for example, recommends that consumers contact the company for a full refund. Many people do not know that accepting a refund is a form of compensation. If you receive a refund, you are essentially giving away your right to request any other form of compensation. Another mistake that people make is sending the defective product back to the company. The defective product is the most important piece of evidence in a product liability claim; therefore, returning the product, getting the product repaired, or tampering with the product in any way will significantly reduce the chances of being able to file a successful claim. So, what should you do? What are the steps that you should take? The parties affected by defective products should always do the following:

Seek medical attention immediately (to confirm injuries or cause of death)

Contact the company to report the harm caused by the defective product

Deje de utilizar el producto defectuoso

No devuelva el producto a la empresa

No acepte una reparación, una sustitución o un reembolso.

No manipule en modo alguno el producto defectuoso.

Reunir todos los registros, incluidos los historiales médicos y los recibos de compra.
