Bungee Cords are Weapons
March 11, 2008 by Bob Christensen
We are now representing a woman that has lost the sight in her eye as a result of the release of a bungee cord with a hook that struck her eye. Our research confirms that the industry has known about this eye injury hazard for decades through peer reviewed medical literature, expert forensic analysis and numerous claims resulting from hundreds of trips to the emergency rooms across this county.
There are several alternative designs that are in use that eliminate this hook release hazard and people need to be told that when they use this product they need to position themselves away from the hook and to wear safety glasses.
I have spoken to attornies across the country that have brought these claims and we have the research and safety studies which prove that a bungee cord with at hook at the end is defective and unreasonably dangerous.
I hope that anyone reading this is now aware of this serious risk of eye injury. If you know of anyone that has sustained this injury, have them contact me for a free confidential consultation.
