Trader Joe’s Recalls Dumplings for the Possibly Containing Hard Plastic

Under product liability law, product manufacturers have a duty to ensure that their products are safe for consumers. Manufacturers must inspect their products to be able to identify and address any defects (in design, manufacturing, or labeling) before making products available to consumers. When manufacturers fail to ensure that their products are safe and harm occurs, then manufacturers could be held liable for any damages. Food manufacturers, specifically, have to have appropriate quality control, for example. If any of their food products are contaminated with plastic, then they must discard the product.

If you were injured by a recalled food product, you could have the right to file a lawsuit.

Although no injuries have been reported, food contaminated with hard plastics can definitely cause harm. Biting into and ingesting plastic, specifically, is the risk. Victims may suffer from the following:

• Broken teeth
• Lacerations in the mouth (including the tongue, gums, and cheeks)
• Lacerations in the throat
• Upset stomach, nausea, and vomiting
• Intestinal blockages
• Intestinal perforations

Although some might be unaffected by accidentally biting into and ingesting hard plastic can potentially result in injuries. No matter the harm that you or a loved one suffered due to food products contaminated with hard plastics, it is important that you seek legal assistance as soon as possible.
