Igloo Youth Sipper Bottles Recall Class Action Lawsuit
Igloo Youth Sipper Bottles Recall Class Action Lawsuit
Around 31,500 Youth Sipper Bottles are being recalled by Igloo because of a choking hazard. The sipper’s silicone cover may come off while the bottle is in use, which can be swallowed by the child. The recall is for 12 ounce Youth Sipper Bottles with “IGLOO” printed on the side. Bottles were sold in pink and purple or blue and green with a silicone cover on the sipper.
Please keep your children from using the bottle and contact the manufacturer, who is offering a refund or replacement bottle. Instructions on how to safely dispose of the sipper bottle and apply for a refund / replacement product can be found here.
Getting a new product or your money back may be good enough if your child hasn’t been injured from a choking incident. But those who have had an accident are likely to have significant injuries that require monetary compensation. Our lawyers are here to provide you with legal advice and help you determine if a product recall lawsuit is the right course of action. To learn more about your rights and legal options, please contact our office.
You don’t expect a sipper bottle to cause a choking incident, but when it does, there are serious injuries that can be inflicted on toddlers and young children. These include:
- Respiratory distress
- Internal bleeding
- Damage to the larynx
- Loss of consciousness / coma
- Vision problems
- Memory loss
- Brain injury
- Paralysis
To safeguard your child’s health, please call 911 if your child is choking on a part that came loose from one of these sipper bottles. Waiting even a day longer than you should can cause permanent health complications, and even death, so immediate medical attention is crucial to your child’s recovery, as well as your right to sue the manufacturer.
Steps to Take after a Choking IncidentAs we mentioned, seeing a doctor is the most important thing you can do to minimize the chance of severe injuries if your child chokes on a foreign object. But there are some other things you should do, which can help you build a strong case in a lawsuit against the manufacturer:
- Notify the manufacturer of the accident as soon as possible.
- If they offer you anything, like a refund, free product, etc., make sure to say no. Accepting a remedy from the product maker may invalidate your right to file a legal action.
- Keep all your evidence, like medical records, the defective product, and proof of lost wages due to your child’s medical needs, in a safe place.
- Contact a product recall lawyer, who can investigate your case and initiate a claim on your behalf.
