Under a theory of strict liability, manufacturers may be liable for any injuries caused by a defective toy or children’s product that the manufacturer made, even if they did not act negligently.  Retailers and others who put the defective product into commerce may also be liable for any injuries if the retailer knew or reasonably should have known of the defect in the children’s product and failed to meet its obligation to protect consumers.
