Dangerous and unsafe products, machinery, and vehicles can cause injury or even the death of innocent people. Whether the injury is caused by a negligent design, employing toxic components, a manufacturer’s failure to provide adequate instructions, or providing inadequate warnings and labels, the responsible party can be held accountable.

Even seemingly obvious dangers must be addressed by manufacturers for the safety of consumers, even if the manufacturer learns of the defect after the distribution of a product.

Defective products can range from cars, to medical devices, to children’s toys, to everyday household items. These defective products can cause harm, which leads to thousands of serious, and in some cases life threatening injuries to consumers each year.

Types of Product Liability Cases

• Defectively designed automobiles and vehicle components
• Defective medical devices
• Defective construction equipment
• Toxic Pharmaceuticals
• Dangerous household chemicals and cleaning products
• Dangerous children’s products
• Dangerous industrial machinery

Every product liability case comes with its own set of circumstances that makes it unique. The United States Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) tracks trends on product-related injuries and fatalities. So do other governmental entities such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA). According to statistics, in 2012, seven percent of all personal injury cases dealt with unsound products. These cases have the second-highest median damage awards of all personal injury lawsuits.
