New Jersey Injury Lawyer & Attorney : Law Offices of Scott D. Grossman : Serving Monmouth County, Bergen County

Earlier this week that members of the New Jersey Assembly have introduced some legislation to enhance toy safety and protect New Jersey consumers. One bill would make it illegal to sell a toy labeled as unsafe by federal or state government. Another bill would mandate that retails remove recalled toys from their shelves within 48 hours of receiving notice of the recall. Potential fines for violating these proposed bills could be as high as $20,000. It’s a very good step in the right direction.

New York Newsday.com reported earlier this week that despite the almost daily barrage of news of unsafe toys and recalls, stores in New York State are still carrying toys with unsafe levels of lead on their shelves. This is unconscionable, disgusting, and terribly frightening. I have to say that my wife and I are completely baffled by what to buy our son, nephew and nieces for the holidays this year, as everywhere you turn, another toy is deemed unsafe. The Governor of New York, Eliot Spitzer, ordered a statewide probe that yielded the cold hard facts that many toy retailers were selling recalled toys.
