Vehicle and Automobile Accidents
People injured in Springfield Township, Bradford County automobile crash
I don't normally post about specific automobile accidents and crashes. However, every once in a while the facts of a specific crash makes think about making a point.In a recent crash that happened in Springfield Township, Bradford County, two vehicles collided on Springfield Road (State Route 4014). You can read the entire article from the Towanda Daily Review here.
It is not clear from the article as to who caused the accident; however, it is clear that it was a significant accident. Just see the picture of one of the vehicles on its roof. The article indicates that both drivers were seriously injured and taken to the hospital. What struck me, though, is that Miss Brown had a four (4) year old in the car who was not injured.
I am sure the reason this child had no injuries, even though everyone else involved in the accident had serious injuries, was because of the child safety seat. The reason that I am blogging about this accident is because you can thank trial lawyers and consumer advocates for the child safety seat laws. Miss Brown’s child was not injured because of what we do every day.

One in three toys contains toxic chemicals according to report
CNN (12/4, Clifford) reports, "One in three toys tested was found to contain toxic chemicals such as lead, flame retardants and arsenic, according to a report issued Wednesday by an environmental group." The Ecology Center's Jeff Gearhart led the research and said, "Our hope is that by empowering consumers with this information, manufacturers and lawmakers will feel the pressure to start phasing out the most harmful substances immediately, and to change the nation's laws to protect children from highly toxic chemicals."
The Long Island Newsday (12/4, Damiano) reports, "The new Consumer Product Safety Commission's regulations would make some products currently being sold illegal to sell two months from now. Experts insist the new regulations, while a good first step, do not go far enough to protect our children." The Los Angeles Times (12/4, Kozlowski) also covers the story.
