Kiro7.com reported that IKEA is initiating a voluntary recall for their BLÅVINGAD fishing game. IKEA is recalling its Blavingad children’s fishing game because of the potential choking danger. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, a choking hazard arises when a tiny metal rivet on the wooden playing component becomes detached.
On Thursday, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission shared in a news release that the game, which features wooden parts with metal rivets controlled by a magnet-tipped fishing line, presents a choking risk when a small metal rivet becomes dislodged. Approximately 25,000 game units are affected by the recall.
The CPSC reported that IKEA was informed of four instances of rivets separating from the wooden elements. At this time, there are no incidents in the U.S. needing medical intervention were reported, according to the recall notice provided by the agency.
The game was available for purchase at IKEA stores and on their website from October 2022 to March 2023, as stated by the CPSC.
The product’s blue box displays the name (Blavingad) and number (10539622) alongside the supplier number (21576), as mentioned by the CPSC. The phrase “Made in China” also appears on the box.
The CPSC advised consumers to discontinue using the game and reach out to IKEA for a complete refund.
Customers can additionally contact IKEA using the contact information provided by the ikea’s recall page.
IKEA issued an apology for the inconvenience and expressed gratitude for customers’ understanding in a news release.
The games under recall were sold in U.S. stores and online between October 2022 and March 2023 for approximately $14.99. Customers should immediately cease using the recalled fishing game and bring it back to IKEA for a full refund. A receipt is not necessary. IKEA apologizes for the inconvenience and values your cooperation.
What Are the Steps For Filing a Product Liability Lawsuit?
Filing a product liability lawsuit involves several steps. These steps may vary slightly depending on the jurisdiction and the specific circumstances of your case. It’s essential to consult with an experienced product liability attorney who can guide you through the process. Here’s a general outline of the steps involved:
- Consult our Product Liability Attorneys: Reach out to a qualified attorney who specializes in product liability cases. They will help you determine if you have a valid claim and advise you on the best course of action.
- Gather evidence: Collect all relevant documentation and evidence, such as medical records, proof of purchase, photographs of the defective product and your injuries, witness statements, and any other pertinent information that will support your case.
- Investigation and expert testimony: Your attorney may conduct further investigation and gather additional evidence. They may also consult with experts in the relevant field to provide testimony supporting your case, such as engineers or medical professionals.
- File the complaint: Your attorney will draft a legal document called a complaint, which outlines the basis for your claim, the parties involved, and the damages you are seeking. The complaint is filed with the appropriate court and serves as the formal initiation of your lawsuit.
- Serve the defendant: The defendant (the party you are suing) must be properly notified of the lawsuit. This typically involves serving them with a copy of the complaint and a summons informing them of their obligation to respond to the lawsuit within a specified time frame.
- Discovery process: During the discovery phase, both parties exchange information and evidence related to the case. This may include written questions (interrogatories), requests for documents, and depositions (sworn testimonies taken outside of court).
- Settlement negotiations: Many product liability cases are resolved through out-of-court settlements. Your attorney will negotiate with the defendant’s legal representatives to reach a satisfactory resolution for both parties.
- Trial: If a settlement cannot be reached, your case will proceed to trial. During the trial, both sides will present their arguments, evidence, and expert testimony to a judge or jury, who will then determine the case’s outcome.
Remember that the specific steps and procedures may vary depending on your jurisdiction and the nature of your case. Always consult with a knowledgeable product liability lawyer to ensure your case is handled properly.
