When the World Cup comes around, shops become swamped with English football paraphernalia from England-branded t-shirts to flags, balloons and stationery all plastered with the St Georges flag on. In showing their loyalty to their team, no fan expects to have to make a product liability claim however product recalls had to be made on some football items after concerns that they could lead to personal injury.
In 2010 with the World Cup being held in South Africa, many of the England fans watched the matches at home and showed their support to their team by hanging flags from their windows and donning clothing plastered with the team's colours.
Even water bottles were brought out endorsing the England football team in various shops and supermarkets. The supermarket chain Wilkinson bought out a sports bottle with the England branding on it which was aimed at England's younger football fans. However the item had to be recalled after concerns that the cap may pose a choking hazard if put into the mouth.
A product recall notice was posted on the Trading Standards website and customers of the sports bottle were encouraged to return the faulty bottles for a full refund. Considering the bottle's appeal to younger consumers, the product could potentially have had disastrous consequences if the product had not been recalled earlier.
With so many shops trying to take advantage of the football frenzy that surrounded the run up to the 2010 World Cup, there potentially could have been several hundred product liability claims relating to faulty football goods.
Shops have a duty to ensure that the products they sell are all of a good quality and will not pose a safety risk to their customers. If you or a loved one has suffered a personal injury as a result of a faulty product, you could be entitled to making a compensation claim for your suffering.
