Christmas is a festival we all look forward too, especially those who have children in the family, but, probably because it is so eagerly-anticipated, what should be a happy time can all too easily be upset by a dangerous or faulty Christmas present.
Broken or sharp metal and plastic edges can cut children's delicate skin, paints may contain poisonous substances, electronic goods can be dangerously wired causing overheating or a fire; these are just some of the hazards which might arise from a badly-made or packaged item.
In the UK there is a battery of consumer laws to help customers who have bought goods either for themselves or as a gift and which turn out to be unfit for their purpose, unsafe or not of satisfactory quality. If they are faulty when sold, the buyer is entitled to a refund, replacement or repair.
To try to safeguard against tears on Christmas Day, if possible check the gift as soon as you have bought it and make sure it works or meets acceptable standards then, if there is a problem, you can return to the seller for correction before handing over the present.
If you don't discover the fault until it has either inflicted a personal injury or obviously could do so, tell the trader as soon as you can and if you are unable to see the person face to face make a complaint in writing and keep a copy. If you don't have a receipt, try to find another proof of purchase such as a credit or debit card bill to back up your case.
Consumer protection is one aspect of being recompensed for a faulty Christmas present, but what can you do if the fault has been sufficiently serious to cause a personal injury?
If you or a loved one has suffered pain, other injury or loss of earnings through no fault of your own, as a result of a defective Christmas gift you may be able to consult a specialist no win, no fee solicitor about pursuing a product liability compensation claim.
