If your child swallowed one of the batteries inside the headbands, please call Moll Law Group to determine whether you have a claim.

There are three different Easter LED headband models. One is Model 44694, which comes in white with satin ear linings with a fluffy white band and backing. The ear linings are light pink, dark pink, red or light blue. The headband is packaged in a bag marked OKK Trading, Inc. and “Item#44694.” Another is Model 46210, which comes in white, light pink, dark pink, red, purple, and turquoise and has ears with multicolor polka dots. They are packaged in bags made of clear plastic and labeled with Item#46310 and OKK Trading, Inc. Still another is Model 46309, which comes in light pink, white, purple, and turquoise. It has fluffy ears and fur edging the band. Like the others, these headbands are placed in clear plastic bag marked “Item#46309” and “OKK Trading, Inc.”

As a remedy, customers have been asked to immediately cease usage of the Easter LED Headbands and ask OKK Trading for a refund. While you’ll be asked to email recall@okktoys.com a photograph that shows you threw the headband away (and you should only dispose of button cell batteries by adhering to local hazardous waste procedures), you should not do this if your child was injured by the headband. The product could be evidence in the event that you need to bring a product liability lawsuit.

Recently, a number of lawsuits against AI companies have sought to use product liability theory and strategy to hold them accountable for injuries to consumers, especially minors. Some pundits have called this a Big Tobacco moment— using product liability law in this context is novel; but these theories were also successfully used to go after big tobacco companies in the 1990s and to achieve multibillion dollar settlements and changes to cigarette marketing. One of the most prominent pieces of current AI litigation is Florida’s first-in-the-nation lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman based on the accusation that ChatGPT advised the gunman in a fatal shooting at Florida State University. If you were injured by AI, please give our seasoned Chicago-based product liability lawyers a call. We have many years of experience, and billions of dollars have been recovered in cases with which we’ve been involved.

The Florida AI lawsuit alleges, among other things, that the company knowingly and aggressively marketed ChatGPT to the public, while hiding significant risks and suppressing safety warnings. Plaintiffs argue that ChatGPT is a dangerous product that has caused users to perpetrate violent acts or suffer from mental health problems. OpenAI, meanwhile, has denied it has done anything wrong.

The Florida AI lawsuit and private lawsuits similar to it are using a product liability strategy similar to the one simultaneously being used against significant social media platforms; they are claiming the AI is defective (large social media companies like Meta have been held accountable for failing to put in place safeguards against sexual predators and addiction). Product liability strategies are especially important because Congress has lagged in enacting federal AI safety regulation that would apply in every state across the country. Without uniform federal standards for the development and implementation of AI, each state is left to enact different and potentially contradictory standards.

Nitrosamines are the byproducts of common chemical reactions. They can be produced in connection with industrial processes or in food that contains nitrite preservatives such as bacon. Generally, exposure to a small amount of nitrosamines is not considered hazardous, but there have been studies showing that some nitrosamines are carcinogenic, or cancer-causing, when consumed in large quantities over longer time periods.
