Toy Dart Gun Sets Recalled After Boy Dies
Posted on Jun 08, 2010
A recall has been issued for toy dart sets after children die from choking. The older children, 9, 10, died after choking on the darts tip.
Federal regulators issued the recall after the deaths.
For the family of Kentrell Rodgers, a 9-year-old West Side Chicago boy who died in August 2007, the recall came too late. Kentrell put the small toy dart in his mouth and accidentally inhaled the product, a Chinese-made toy imported by Henry Gordy International Inc. and sold at Family Dollar stores.
It seems that the death of Kentrell Rodgers could have been prevented if the company had taken action following the death of another boy, Desman Young, in 2006Henry Gordy also had a chance to recall the toy before Kentrell died. The company notified its insurer about Desman's death in January 2007, according to a court records.
"If the company would've been straightforward after this happened to Desman, there never would've been the Illinois death," said Jay Urban, an attorney for Desman's family.
Lawsuits are pending.
