Nerf has recalled two of their Super Soakers for a lead contamination.
Super Soaker XP 20 and Super Soaker XP 30 are the two Super Soakers that have been recalled at this time.
The lead was found on the stickers adhered to the Super Soakers. The amount of lead found is more than the U.S. allows in products.
The manufacturer, Nerf, says the stickers were outsourced by a third-party who is an unauthorized supplier. When they became aware of the lead situation, they began an investigation to take precautionary measures.
The Super Soakers were sold in the U.S. exclusively at Target from March to July 2020 for about $7.99 (XP 20) and $12.99 (XP 30).
Lead is a highly toxic metal and a strong poison. Lead poisoning is serious and sometimes fatal.
Children get lead in their bodies by putting lead-containing objects in their mouths. Touching the lead and then putting their fingers in their mouths may also poison them. Lead is more harmful to children because their brains and nervous systems are still developing.
It is a manufacturer’s responsibility to make sure their products are safe for consumers. If someone is injured due to a defective product, a product liability claim may exist. A claim may be pursued to pay for damages caused by the defective product such as medical bills, missed time from work and pain and suffering.
If you or someone you know has been seriously injured by a defective product, it is important to contact a personal injury attorney to review your rights. Call 412-661-1400 to schedule a free consultation with a personal injury lawyer in Pittsburgh at Berger and Green today.
