Zinus Recalls Bunk Beds due to Risk of Injury to Consumers

The Defective Bunk Beds Could Lead to Injuries

As aforementioned, some of the incidents involving the defective bunk beds led to consumers suffering bumps and bruises after falling from the top bunk onto the floor. These are only minor injuries; however, these incidents have the potential to lead to much more serious injuries. Affected consumers could potentially suffer some of the following injuries:

• Head injuries (including traumatic brain injuries)
• Spinal cord injuries
• Neck and back injuries
• Fractures
• Strains and sprains
• Laceration
• Crushing injuries
• Suffocation
• Scrapes and strains

The risk of injuries is present for consumers that are either on the top bunk or the bottom bunk. Regardless of the specific type of harm that you or a member of your family suffered associated with the defective bunk beds, you might have grounds to sue; therefore, you should seek legal assistance and discuss the incident with a lawyer as soon as possible.

Product Liability and the Right to Sue

Do you have the right to sue for the harm that you suffered associated with a defective product, such as the defective bunk beds? Based on the concept of product liability, you could sue. Because of the concept of product liability, companies could be held accountable for any harm resulting from their defective products. This is because all companies owe their consumers a duty of care. That is, companies have a duty to ensure that their products a duty to keep their consumers safe for their consumers; this means that companies must test and inspect their products thoroughly to be able to identify as well as address hazards present before consumers have access to the products. Unfortunately, companies can breach their duty of care; breaching the duty of care ultimately leads to consumers being needlessly put at risk of suffering harm. When a breached duty of care leads to the harm that an innocent consumer suffers, the company could be liable – this is all based on the concept of product liability.

File Within the Statute of Limitations

There is no doubt that you could be eligible to pursue a claim based on the concept of product liability; however, you could potentially lose the right to sue if you fail to file your claim within the appropriate length of time. Your claim is subject to a statute of limitations. A statute of limitations establishes the total length of time that claimants have to file their claims. If claimants do not file their claims within the deadline allowed by the statute of limitations, they could lose their right to sue.

What deadline applies to your defective product claim? In California, product liability claims are typically subject to a two-year statute of limitations; however, exceptions could apply. If any exceptions apply (based on the details surrounding your claim), the applicable statute of limitations could be tolled (or paused) for some time.
