IKEA-USA and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a recall order for all IKEA LEOPARD highchairs that come with a separate tray and seat that snap together using locks.  Apparently the defective seat locks have posed a choking hazard or have allowed children to fall through the seat and injure themselves.  Although no reported injuries have happened inside the United States‚ the recall aims to ensure that no future injury will occur in the U.S. either.

For more information about this highchair recall‚ read this article at our child injury lawyer website.  If your child or a loved one has been injured due to a defective product‚ such as a LEOPARD highchair‚ please contact our office at 888-233-5020 for a free consultation.

A recent self reporting study demonstrates that former NFL players aged 50 and over suffer from demensia related diagnosis at a rate five times the national average.  The study is so important that the NFL is now undertaking its’ own study of the long term affect of concussions and brain injuries on its’ players.

Injured by an Allstate driver?  Wondering whether you should hire a personal injury attorney to help you with your California accident case when Allstate is insuring the other driver?

San Diego injury lawyer Ross Jurewitz gives you an example of one case where Allstate did not have any evidence to support their position yet did not increase their offer to settle to more than $6,500 until just before trial.  Read why he recommends that you should hire a personal injury lawyer for every Allstate claim due to their history of lowball offers and hardball litigation tactics that have earned it the title of the worst insurance company in America according to the American Association for Justice (AAJ).

If you have an Allstate claim and wonder whether you should cooperate with their adjustors‚ contact the California personal injury attorneys at the Jurewitz Law Group at 888-233-5020 for a free consultation and case evaluation.
