The products liability lawyers at BISNAR | CHASE has recently received a complaint about an alleged toaster defect. A good samaritan wrote to us to warn other consumers of a toaster he believes is a dangerous and defective product sold at Walmart.

After buying the TS-704 toaster at Walmart, our source turned on the toaster. About a minute later he reached for the toaster with his right hand to shift the toaster’s location. After grabbing the toaster by its white sides he released it as a result of the pain he felt from the shockingly hot metal. The burning sensation on his right palm lasted painfully for about 15-30 minutes.

As a products defect attorney I am outraged. If the allegations are true, this defective product can become a serious hazard to young children, the elderly, and anyone who may accidentally touch the scorching hot surfaces. I hope that others do not become seriously injured or hurt from this product. This incident makes me wonder if the manufacturer could have insulated the toaster to eliminate the potentially hazardous hot surfaces? If so, why didn’t they do this in the first place? Let’s hope that this is not another company that puts profits before people.

It is frightening to think that a common household product can have the potential to cause serious personal injury. This is just another example of the number of products that we use daily, which can become a danger to us and our loved ones. Unfortunately, we don’t know of these dangers ahead of time unless the manufacturer recalls the dangerous and defective product.

If you or a loved one has been injured by a defective product, it is important to protect your rights. After a serious injury it is well advised to consult with an experienced Los Angeles personal injury lawyer. The best products liability lawyers will offer free consultations as well as a no win no fee guarantee.
