The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently announced a recall of Dragonfly brand Jelly Bars on January 11 due to potential choking hazards. The recall specifically targets these jelly bars because they contain konjac powder, an ingredient that poses a risk of choking, especially to young children and adults with certain functional or anatomical abnormalities.
The affected products under this recall include various sizes of Dragonfly Jelly Handbags and Jelly Backpacks. The Jelly Handbags are available in 11.64 oz and 17.63 oz sizes, bearing UPCs 721557357156 and 721557357163, respectively. The Jelly Backpacks come in 7.93 oz and 28.22 oz sizes, with UPCs 721557357170 and 721557357187, respectively. To date, there have been no reported incidents of choking or injuries related to these products. However, the FDA advises consumers who have purchased any of these products to return them to their place of purchase to receive a full refund.
Consumers with additional questions or concerns can reach out to the U.S. Trading Company at 510-781-1818, which is available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST.
The recall of Dragonfly Jelly Bars due to the choking hazard presents a significant concern, especially for vulnerable populations like small children. Products that pose such risks can cause serious harm or injury. Individuals or guardians of children who may have been harmed by these products could consider filing a lawsuit to seek damages for the injuries sustained. Such legal actions typically fall under the category of product liability lawsuits.
In a product liability lawsuit, the plaintiff must demonstrate that the product in question was inherently dangerous due to a defect, an unsafe design, or inadequate warnings. The legal process for such cases involves compiling evidence, filing a lawsuit, engaging in negotiations with the defendant or their representatives, and possibly proceeding to trial.
An attorney plays a critical role in each phase of this process. Legal professionals with experience in product liability cases can offer invaluable assistance in gathering and presenting evidence, understanding legal nuances, and advocating effectively on behalf of the plaintiff. Successfully navigating a product liability lawsuit can result in compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, loss of income, and potentially punitive damages in cases of gross negligence.
