RECALL – Crib Death Danger

Apr 30

Posted by admin in Product Recalls | 1 Comment

US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a recall of all full sized Simplicity cribs. Simplicity and its successor is no longer in business so information about the number of cribs involved is limited.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THESE CRIBS!

One death and 13 other incidents have been reported to CPSC. Infants can become entrapped, wedged or fall out of these cribs because the tubular support frame can bend or detach from the rest of the crib’s frame.

This recall link gives more onfo on the affected models and examples of the mattress support failures. You can also visit the Crib Information Center for more crib safety.

Please share this with anyone who may have infants sleeping in cribs.

Scuba divers should immediately stop using this product and return the regulator to Tabata or an authorized dealer for a free inspection and replacement. Spread the word to fellow divers and local dive shops to help prevent any mishaps or drowning deaths.

Infants die in baby slings

Mar 25

Posted by admin in Product Liability, Product Recalls, Wrongful Death | Comments off

The reports of three infants deaths have been brought to the attention of the  CPSC. The infants died due to suffocation in these baby slings produced by Infantino, LLC out of San Diego. Our condolences go out to those three families and any others that may have suffered the same loss.

Obviously, you should immediately stop use of these baby slings. The recall uses 4 months of age and younger wording but I would err on the side of caution and stop using it altogether. Over a million slings are being recalled in the United States and fifteen thousand in Canada.

Here’s the link to the CPSC / Infantino recall .

Toyota recall

Feb 23

Posted by admin in Auto Accidents, Class Actions, Product Recalls, Wrongful Death | Comments off

Do you get the feeling that there is still more breaking news to come regarding quality control at Toyota? Is this the classic story of a big corporation relying on their bean counters to tell them what is the most economical decision instead of the right decision?

Regardless of the answers to the questions – if you own a recalled Toyota make sure you are bringing it into your local dealership so any and all safety issues can be addressed. What a mess!

If we can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to call one of our Jacksonville personal injury law offices at (800)251-1111 or contact us at your convenience on the internet.

Radiation treatment hazards

Jan 25

Posted by admin in Class Actions, General Law, Personal Injury, Product Liability, Traumatic Brain Injury, Uncategorized, Wrongful Death | Comments off

Here’s a link to a lengthy NY Times article that attorney Charlie Douglas forwarded to me. His comment to me was that it was absolutely horrifying and I would agree after reading the recent article.

With advances in modern technology comes some unknown risk but to know that the risks have been knowingly hidden from the public is flat out wrong and immoral.

Big Toyota recall

Jan 21

Posted by admin in Aviation Law, Personal Injury, Product Liability, Traumatic Brain Injury, Truck Accidents, Wrongful Death | Comments off

Do you own one of these cars or trucks? Add the 2010 Toyota Prius to the list for bad brakes

• 2009-2010 RAV4
• 2009-2010 Corolla
• 2009-2010 Matrix
• 2005-2010 Avalon
• 2007-2010 Camry
• 2010 Highlander
• 2007-2010 Tundra
• 2008-2010 Sequoia

If so, contact Toyota because they just recalled 2.3 million of them for “isolated incidents of the accelerator sticking”.

That could be bad news! Check it out before you wind up the victim of a car accident or just a scary white knuckle ride.

If we can help, please contact us at 800-251-1111

Full coverage auto insurance

Jan 5

Posted by admin in Auto Accidents, General Law, Personal Injury, Traumatic Brain Injury, Truck Accidents, Workers' Compensation, Wrongful Death | Comments off

I can’t count the number of times a potential client has called and told me they had full coverage for car insurance only to find out they had the bare bones State of Florida required coverage PIP & PD or as most people say PIP and liability. They just have no idea what that means in reality and are shocked when they learn what it does or doesn’t do.

Sadly, most people don’t learn anything about their auto insurance until AFTER they have been injured in a car accident and they call an attorney.

Don’t wait until it’s too late to learn what you have or worse yet – DON’T have on your auto insurance policy. Call Harrell and Harrell for your free consultation or submit your questions through our website at www.harrellandharrell.com

We would be glad to explain what your insurance company or agent has never taken the time to explain or you have just never bothered listening to the details. Some insurance quotes are cheaper for a reason – less valuable coverage!

Don’t settle for less than you deserve!
