Product recalls are not uncommon. The recall is to prevent possible injuries in the future. For myself, I try to avoid “Made in China” products whenever possible. Their past problems with lead based paints on childrens toys, unsafe pet foods, etc. lead me to choose other alternatives. People have a right to expect a fitness of product and if they are injured as a result of an unfit product, they’re entitled to seek compensation for injuries.
Bob, I agree with trying to avoid chinese products. Good luck. A coworker and I were just discussing this and started randomly picking up items around the office and seeing were they were made. 9 out of 10 were from China. There aren’t a lot of “alternatives”. And as far as product recalls….I understand why they do them…to avoid law suits…plain and simple. My point is people shouldn’t be sueing because their kid chewed a button eye off a teddy bear and choked. Life involves some risks.
I agree with you except how well are the buttems secured to the toys? Is sounds like it wasn’t chewed off, it fell off? I think that it’s reasonable to expect this shouldn’t happen.
My nephew Hop Sing say Amricans gripe about everything. He offer healthy good lunch special for fourfitty. American restaurant charge $6.95. How you think he cheaper. No one hire to pick hairs and roaches out of plates at Hop Sing’s chinese restaurant. When customer gripe about roach and hair in food Hop Sing tell them, “you Americans worry to much about what in food”.

see, THIS is why my 18-month old daughter only plays with 100% American made organic teddy bears. They’re hand woven by 80-year old Navajo women and stuffed with all-natural hemp. My daughter likes to put hers next to the heat vent and mellow out…

spoken like a true attorney Bob. Sue ’em all. If a Teddy bear’s removable eye can kill you, I should have been dead before I was one year old!!!
Any truth to the rumor that Sen. Grassely ordered up some of the returned teddys to give to all the AIG executives that got the bonuses?
Sorry to disappoint you DD72 but you’re not even close. I’m an underwriting manager with close to 40 years in the business.
