UPDATE: Our office has recently retained a number of different cases against this manufacturer. We felt it would be important to share specific information about the current claim process so any other interested parties would know what to do. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us in order to discuss.
Request to Surrender the Table
In many cases, the manufacturer will make calls to each customer who has purchased the table. Usually, when you make a purchase from a store, they login your information and contact details. That way, they can continue to send you brochures for subsequent purchases. This information is also used to contact you in the event of a recall.
In most cases, they will contact you to obtain the table from the client. If you surrender the table to them, it will make it difficult to do the testing required to prove damages. However, because we have already done much of the testing, it can be used to pursue claims for those without the actual product.
However, if you can avoid giving up the table, it would make sense to keep it until after the case is resolved. In most cases, they will still reimburse you regardless of the outcome.
To learn more, contact a top qualified attorney who has experience in product recalls. As it stands, you should make sure to follow these steps before filing a defective product claim:
(1) DO NOT return the item to the manufacturer ot receive a refund; that will destroy all evidence you have to pursue the case.
(2) DO NOT tamper with the product or try to fix it.
(3) Seek immediate medical attention with a doctor so that there is no gap in medical treatment.
(4) Hold on to any receipts or documentation of purchase.
Current Testing Results
Our top-rated law firm’s most recent testing has shown that the table did in fact test positive for lead. However, in certain cases, we have found that exposed parties DO NOT have elevated lead levels. Typically, lead levels remain in the bloodstream for 25-30 days. After that, you have very low lead levels that will not show up in blood testing.
In order to combat this issue – because many clients did not use the table for months before the recall was announced – we created a solution. Elemental tracing is the process by which you test food particles to see if they picked up any traces of lead. In order to do this, you must have all of the different food types tested. Once you have the food types tested, you can reconstruct the individual’s diet and determine what the lead levels would be.
Our skilled attorneys with experience in product liability cases have already conducted testing on 30+ different foods in different states. While our testing results are private, they are proof positive of the lead levels. So even in cases where the lead levels are non-existent in the bloodstream, you can still demonstrate exposure.
Common Injuries – Lead Poisoning Caused by Restoration Hardware
Lead is a toxic substance. However, the main issue with this is that a lot of the long-term damage will not manifest until later on. This is typically true if the exposure is to a young child. In most cases, the injuries sustained will not be identified right away. It will take months if not years to determine. However, in certain cases, you will find common lead exposure-related issues. This can include growth issues, hormonal imbalances, cognitive issues, and other health-related issues. If you feel that you or your child has exhibited any of these symptoms, call an accomplished lawyer experienced in product liability cases today.
Finally, the injuries sustained by a female vs those of a male can be completely different. Usually, a female will suffer injuries that are a lot different and can be more long-term.
