Situated at the western end of Nevada’s Twenty-Six Mile Desert and along the bend of the Carson River is Dayton, Nevada. This community has an interesting past stretching back into the 19th century, starting off as being a watering hole for thirsty immigrants crossing the great plains of America to being a thriving mining and milling town to now transforming into a lively and desirable residential area, particularly for young families.
Dayton, named after the local surveyor John Day who later on became the Surveyor General of Nevada (though the area experienced numerous name changes, including “China Town” and Gold Cañon), has gained nationwide attention for a few reasons. The area welcomed the likes of Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable in the mid 20th Century when both actors performed in the iconic film, “The Misfits” on Dayton soil.
Dayton also continues to assert itself as being Nevada’s oldest settlement, with the wagon train of renowned pioneer Lucena Parsons allegedly staying at the mouth of Gold Cañon (now part of Dayton) for numerous weeks as they waited for treacherous ice and snow to melt.
According to the 2000 US census, nearly 40% of all households in Dayton had children under the age of 18. This makes Dayton amongst one of the youngest communities in America, yet also one at a greater threat for product liability and defective products. In fact, a quarter million or more children are involved in toy-related accidents every single year, with the vast majority of them being preventable and because of the negligence of another.
While colorful and fun in the packaging, these toys that we are buying our children can put them at serious risk for harm. Many claims that involve defective toys include:
Of course, injuries aren’t exclusively the result of toys. Other common defective children’s products include:
