Watch Out for These
Possibly Harmful
Products the Next
Time You Go Shopping
People love shopping.
Having the ability to buy the
products we want gives us a
sense of fulfilment and joy.
However, danger can still lurk amid this supposedly
enjoyable experience.
One of these hazards is unknowingly taking home
products that might be harmful to you and your
loved ones.
According to an article published by Santa Clara
University, 34 million individuals are harmed or
killed because of product-related accidents.
These types of injuries are the main culprits behind
the deaths of people between one and 36 years of
age, even outnumbering the number of fatalities
resulting from heart disease or cancer.
The financial damages
associated with these
product-related injuries
amount to $12 billion per
year.
It’s not the end of the world if you or someone you
love falls victim to these accidents.
A seasoned personal injury attorney can represent
you in court and get you the compensation that you
deserve.
However, before it reaches
this point, it pays to know
possible harmful products
that might find its way to your
shopping bag the next time
you go shopping.
Contaminated
Beauty Products
In an interview with Today, esthetician Stacya
Silverman narrated how she was victimized by a
contaminated beauty product.
At a spa convention, she won a bag of beauty
products and one of the items inside the bag was
an eye cream.
That same night, she used the
cream, but instead of the
expected soothing effect an eye
cream should have, she felt her
eyes burning and the skin
around her eyes started to look
like leather.
Stacya said she looked like a
lizard for five days.
While the FDA has regulatory and monitoring
mechanisms in place to prevent this from
happening, contaminated beauty products can
still make their way to the market shelves.
Don’t ignore warning signs, even the littlest ones
– spots on a cream, slightly broken seal, etc.
Contaminated
Food Products
It was not too long ago when Cadbury was
forced to recall millions of its chocolate bars
because of suspected salmonella contamination.
Food is probably the easiest way for harmful
things to enter your home.
Keep an eye on recalls and warnings, and if you
think you have purchased an item that has been
recalled, don’t delay checking your refrigerator or
pantry shelves.
The same caution goes for
pet food products.
In the past few years there
have been many recalls of
dog food as well as dog
treats that were made in
China.
It’s a good idea to check online before you
purchase a new type of dog food or treat, and to
be safe occasionally check on the pet items you
currently purchase.
Poorly
Manufactured
Footwear
Imagine yourself on your way
to work.
You feel proud and tall,
especially because you are
wearing your brand new pair
of killer stilettos that you
purchased during your last
shopping spree.
Your office is one block away, but suddenly, you
feel the earth under you go wobbly.
Next thing you know, you’re on the ground,
scowling in pain because you twisted your ankle.
It might be rare, but there are a lot
of manufacturers out there who
sell seemingly mundane things
like footwear without any regard to
good manufacturing practices.
From minor injuries to death – product-related
accidents are more common than you think.
As a consumer, it’s your duty to be vigilant and
keep an eye out on these possibly harmful
products.
However, if you reach the point
that you have to fight it out in
court, hiring a serious injury
attorney is your best bet to get
the justice and compensation
you deserve.
If you believe you have been seriously harmed
by a defective product, a personal injury
attorney who handles product liability cases can
help you obtain compensation.
The serious injury attorney at the
Millea Law Firm, Matt Millea, will
handle your case personally and
ensure you are treated fairly.
