Young child playing with toys at a table.Children’s Toy-Related Injuries in Texas

Toys allow children to grow their imaginations, explore creativity, and even help them learn through play. Often, toys play a significant role in a child’s life, as many kids become attached to one or more toys during childhood. In fact, you may even fondly recall some of your favorite toys from when you were young. However, despite evoking happy memories, toys can be harmful to children. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, an estimated 224,2000 children were treated in the emergency room for toy-related injuries in just one year.

If your child has been injured or has passed away because of a toy-related injury, contact our team of children’s toy injury lawyers at The Button Law Firm. We have experience advocating for innocent children in Texas and their families and can help you seek compensation for your child’s injuries.

How Toys Can Injure Children

Nearly 40% of toy-related injuries are sustained by children who are 4 years old or younger, per a recent Consumer Product Safety Commission report. The good news: These scary incidents are preventable. Toy-related injuries are most common when:

  • Children are given or have access to toys that are not age-appropriate. For example, infants and toddlers may get their hands on toys meant for older kids. These toys can have sharp edges, pose choking hazards, or result in other injuries.
  • Children are improperly or not closely supervised when playing with toys. Therefore, there’s no assurance that toys are age-appropriate or that someone is showing a child how to use a new toy in a safe and correct way.
  • Caregivers do not take precautions like inspecting a toy for safe construction and materials.

Toy-Related Injuries

When caregivers do not follow the precautions mentioned above, children can be harmed by their toys. The most frequent toy-related injuries are:

  • Cuts
  • Bruising
  • Broken bones
  • Muscle strains or sprained ligaments
  • Internal injuries

Here is a list of toys that cause the most injuries, ranked in order of most common:

  • Riding toys, such as tricycles, unpowered scooters, and skateboards
  • Balls or marbles
  • Toy vehicles
  • Building sets
  • Flying discs and boomerangs
  • Games or game parts
  • Dolls, plush toys, and action figures
  • Toy boxes and chests
  • Balloons
