The Cochran Firm Legal Blog

The family of an 11 year-year-old girl has filed a product liability lawsuit against a local mall and one of the kiosk companies doing business there. The child suffered burn injuries that have left painful and permanent scars after she got a temporary tattoo at the kiosk in the mall.

The family claims that the temporary tattoos sold at the kiosk contain the chemical black henna, which has been banned by the FDA for use on products applied to the skin due to the risk of this type of reaction. Currently, the young girl suffers from painful blisters that continuously develop as previous ones burst.

The child has also been forced to explain her scarring and disfigurement to peers at school, which has caused her a great deal of psychological distress. She is currently seeing a dermatologist to treat the scars, but it is uncertain whether this treatment will be effective.

Her family is seeking both punitive damages and compensation for medical expenses incurred as a result of the defective tattoo.

If you or a loved one has been injured from using a defective product, you may be entitled to receive compensation for your damages. The experienced product liability lawyers at The Cochran Firm can help you through this difficult process so that you can start moving on with your life.
