Our attorneys settled a case on behalf of the family of a 15-month-old boy who suffered a strangulation death when the inner cord of a miniblind unraveled. While the pull cords were recognized and warned of as hazards, we established that the inner cords represented similar strangulation hazards to children. We successfully sued one of the largest retail stores in the world and the Chinese manufacturer of the miniblind alleging that they knew the miniblind was defective and failed to act on that.
