NEW YORK - This release follows the numerous inquiries regarding Shoukry v. Fisher Price, Inc. and Mattel, Inc..
That lawsuit seeks class certification concerning certain tainted toys from China that were sold in the United States. Lance A. Harke, one of Plaintiff's counsel, says:
"It is important to protect children from injury. And when injury has occurred, that harm has to be corrected. While defendants in a lawsuit might disagree as to how one goes about correcting and stopping those harms, it is hoped that they would share those views.
Here, the moneys parents will be forced to spend to protect their children from known danger should be the responsibility of the defendants, as with the responsibility to return moneys for products that should not have been sold, and to provide the broadest notice possible for the destruction of such toys.
Our legal system protects consumers caught in harm's way. With this type of serious problem, the time for correction is now, and not when sellers of such products feel like doing what their limited view may offer. Hopefully, Ms. Shoukry's lawsuit and her dedicated actions will help bring about a prompt resolution with a lasting message and impact."
