Amazon failed this family. ⚖️💔
My law firm @MartinMartinLLP, alongside Alder Law, PC, announced a major lawsuit ⚖️ against Amazon after 19-month-old Markel Kidd Jr. suffered catastrophic, permanent brain damage after choking on a magnetic ball toy purchased on their platform.
The product was marketed on Amazon as "safe for toddlers" and this brave mother said it best: "It's a violation of trust."
If she didn't know CPR, her son may not be alive today. Markel can no longer walk. He can no longer talk. And Amazon is still selling this toy.
No family should ever have to live this nightmare. Amazon must be held accountable.

CPSC Bans Dangerous Water Beads Sold as Toys: These tiny, colorful pellets that expand when soaked in water are now subject to federal safety regulations designed to protect children from the hazards of ingesting them.

Many cheap toys from unknown sellers on online marketplaces come from abroad and have not been safety tested. So please SHOP SMART and STAY SAFE this Black Friday.

But instead, being right when doctors were wrong has in some ways made my family uncomfortable to acknowledge.
@RBMD1982 Dr. Bedard, you have identified the exact gap that left me and my family isolated when we needed help most.
I know that this is precisely your point: conventional medicine is “losing people who we might otherwise help” not because those people reject science, but because the system rejected them first.
Yet instead of being embraced as a collaborator who helped identify a genuine hazard, for years I was treated with suspicion or fear by most in the medical establishment and in the media.
My family’s story and my actions ironically represents medicine at its best, careful observation, data collection, hypothesis testing, and translating findings into public safety improvements.
I supervised my daughter, she was not allowed to play with the water beads, documented symptoms, gathered evidence, pursued testing, and ultimately contributed to changes that have protected countless other children from similar harm.
The tragedy in my situation is that I did everything right according to how science and medicine should work.
