The product, in the report: Electric powered go-kart
On or about August 13, 2011, at approximately 10:00am, my nine-year-old client was driving his Razor Ground Force electric powered go-kart in front of his family home. At some point, the child’s left hand came into contact with the go-kart’s rear wheel. As the result of the contact, the child suffered severe injuries to his left hand that have required three surgeries to date. The first surgery was a debridement of the injuries. Soon thereafter a skin flap was created using skin from the child’s left middle finger. The third surgery released the flap, and a skin graft from the child’s hand was used to repair the middle finger. Also, a vein from the child’s hand was removed and used as a sheath over the damaged nerve, with the objective of restoring nerve function in the left ring finger. The child is facing at least one more surgery to release scar tissue on the left pinky finger. As the result of the injury, the child lost 40% of the tendon on his pinky finger, and all of the nerve conduction in his left ring finger. The child’s surgeon is uncertain at this time whether the hand can be restored to normal, pre-injury, functioning. Medical expenses, to date, exceed $60,000.
The Ground Force go-kart is equipped with rails along the side of the toy, but does not have any fender or other device to cover the spinning wheel. Because of the their small diameter, the wheels spin at a high number of revolutions per minute notwithstanding the go-kart’s modest speed.
I am one of the attorneys representing the child and his family with respect to this matter.
