Compensation for Florida McDonald’s Step It Wristband Injury
If your child was burned by a Step It Wristband from McDonald’s, you may be entitled to money for any medical expenses incurred, wage loss of the parent, pain and suffering for the child, and possible future medical expenses and pain and suffering if there is any residual scarring or discoloration.
According to the latest report, about 29 million units were made in the US. McDonald’s has already received more than 70 reports of incidents, including seven reports of blisters, after wearing the wristbands.
McDonald’s Insufficient Remedy
McDonald’s offered, what we believe is an inadequate remedy. They recommend that parents immediately take the recalled wristbands from children, and they are suggesting that parents return them to any McDonald’s for a free replacement toy and either a yogurt tube or bag of apple slices. This is not sufficient if the child was injured.
