Mattel The Start Of A Class Action Lawsuit

Mattel Inc and Fisher Price Inc is facing a lawsuit from Farrah Shoukry. Mattel Inc has recalled more than 1.5 million toys this month alone. Farrah Shoukry and all the parents that have a toy in there home from Mattel Inc and, or Fisher Price Inc, should have legitimate concerns for lead poisoning and should seek quick legal advice.

The toy recall from Mattel Inc and Fisher Price Inc is because the China manufacturer that was contracted to make part or whole of these toys in questioned used lead paint.

Lead Poisoning
Lead poisoning is a medical condition, also known as saturnism, plumbism or painter’s colic, caused by increased blood lead levels.

Symptoms and Effects
The symptoms of chronic lead poisoning include neurological problems, such as reduced cognitive abilities, or nausea, abdominal pain, irritability, insomnia, metal taste in oral cavity, excess lethargy or hyperactivity, headache and, in extreme cases, seizure and coma. There are also associated gastrointestinal problems, such as constipation, diarrhea, vomiting, poor appetite, weight loss, which are common in acute poisoning. Other associated effects are anemia, kidney problems, and reproductive problems.

In humans, lead toxicity sometimes causes the formation of a bluish line along the gums, which is known as the “Burton’s line”, although this is very uncommon in young children. Blood film examination may reveal “basophilic stippling” of red blood cells, as well as the changes normally associated with iron deficiency anemia (microcytosis and hypochromia).

A direct link between early lead exposure and extreme learning disability has been confirmed by multiple researchers and child advocacy groups.

A May 2000 study by economic consultant Rick Nevin theorizes that lead exposure explains between 65% to over 90% of the variation in violent crime rates in the U.S. and other countries.

Because of the cost and danger of lead poising we highly recommend you consult and attorney. Medical cost can escalate quite high since most symptoms of lead poising could be confused with other illness, it might take test after test to find out that at the end it was caused by lead poising.

Farrah Shoukry, the plaintiff against Mattel Inc and Fisher Price Inc is seeking a refund for toys and money for diagnostic tests for lead poisoning.The Mattel toy recall is cause by surface paint could contain excessive amounts of lead.

Mattel Inc said the toys, including Dora the Explorer and Sesame Street characters, were manufactured by a contractor in China.

Farrah Shoukry, who bought one of the recalled toys for her daughter, wants class action status for the lawsuit.

Lead Poising is very, very serious you should seek legal counsel today to learn what rights you have, to protect yourself and your family.
