You may have a case against Melissa & Doug, LLC but you should speak to a lawyer if you are wanting to file a claim. The following is an incident that caused injury to a consumer and was reported.
Description of what happened:
In November of 2012, I purchased a wooden princess castle for my daughter’s 3rd birthday. I selected one that had received very high reviews on Amazon.com and was described by the manufacturer as appropriate for ages 36 months and up. In December of 2013, my daughter (then 4) was toddling near the castle and fell on it, hitting its wooden corner and cutting her chin open to the extent that she needed to be taken to urgent care, where the doctor had to put in 3 stitches to close the wound. I can obtain medical records for this incident upon request. I emailed the manufacturer to make them aware of the injury, but received no response (I believe I checked that no response was needed). Thinking it was just a freak accident, I continued to let my child use the castle. On December 1, 2014, she again tumbled onto the castle and received a painful cut on her lip, causing significant bleeding. Upon examination I saw it was not severe enough to require medical attention, but it opened my eyes to the fact that the previous incident was not a freak accident, but a dangerous flaw with the toy’s design. The castle’s wooden edges come together in a manner sharp enough to pierce the skin, and due to its battlement design its edges are numerous.
