Christmas Tree Recall is Reminder of the Need for Household Burn Injury Awareness, says the Law Offices of Burg & Brock

LOS ANGELES, March 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- A number of defective artificial Christmas trees spurred a recent product recall due to concerns of a fire hazard, according to an Associated Press report. The elaborate trees, sold online by Hayneedle.com, rotate as fibers in the tree branches change colors. The problem apparently arose due to the possibility that one of the motors in the tree can overheat, leading to reports of smoke and/or a "burning smell." While no injuries or significant damage resulted prior to the recall, it's a reminder of how using a faulty product can lead to fires and the risk of possibly serious burn injuries. The Law Offices of Burg & Brock would like to remind the public that it's always a good idea to pay attention to the products they use and stay vigilant with regards to potentially dangerous malfunctions.

Sadly, household mishaps remain an all too frequent cause of death and severe injury, resulting in thousands of deaths and injuries nationwide. The American Burn Association tells us that, in 2013, some 450,000 burn injuries received medical treatment while the count for fire/burn and smoke inhalation deaths related to residential fires was 2,550. While it's hard to know how many of these incidents may have been related to malfunctioning products, it obviously makes sense for heads of households to keep a close eye on a range of products, especially those using electricity, to ensure that they are functioning in a safe and correct manner.

Of course, there are times when the worst happens and fires and burn injuries do occur. When fires are the clear result of a product that may have been improperly constructed or installed by a manufacturer or contractor, finding the right kind of legal representation is crucial. Founded and led by noted attorney Cameron Yadidi Brock, the Law Offices of Burg & Brock has become known as the leading resource for Southern California residents who may require the assistance of an expert attorney who is also highly experienced in product liability issues.  

While the aftermath of a serious burn injury is likely to be one of the most difficult times in the lives of the victim and his or her family, it's nevertheless crucial to consider one's legal options as soon as possible. This may be an urgent matter particularly if medical bills and lost income are threatening an individual's or family's finances.  In these circumstances, finding out if there is a basis for a legal case may be of the utmost importance.  Operating on a contingency fee basis, Mr. Brock and the entire legal team at the Law Offices of Burg & Brock have helped countless individuals, collecting over $100 million in settlements and verdicts.
