Defective Products

A defective product injury lawyer who stands up for victims

Toys, household appliances and laptop computers are examples of everyday products many people take for granted, but sometimes cause great harm. A product designed to help you or bring joy to your child might actually cause serious injury due to a design defect. Product injuries include burns, loss of sight, internal injury, and amputation or loss of limbs, among others. If the product is defective, unsafe, or if the product fails to meet design, construction or performance standards, you may have grounds for a defective product lawsuit.

Types of defective product cases

A defective product case may arise if a product causes harm due to being defective, unsafe, or fails to meet design, construction or performance standards. The following are a few examples of how defective products cause harm:

• A lamp, toaster or laptop computer that causes harm to a user (for example, an electric shock or a fire)
• A dangerous toy or other defective children's product that may have a fire hazard or other safety issue.
• A defect in an automobile, such as an airbag failure, tire failure, faulty brakes or other car parts that causes a car accident.
• Defective or dangerous drugs that causes serious and harmful side effects.
• Tainted food that causes food poisoning.

Types of defective product cases, or product liability claims, include manufacturing defect cases, design defect cases and cases in which there were insufficient instructions or warnings on the product. In some cases, you may be able to pursue a construction defect claim against a builder.
