Product Liability
Consumer safety is the responsibility of engineers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, wholesalers, or leasers, and any or all may be held accountable if a product harms a consumer and they are at fault. When a product has become defective or is mismanaged through improper labeling or distribution, there may be grounds for a product liability lawsuit. Many industries have experienced the repercussions of product liability lawsuits including the automotive, pharmaceutical, entertainment, food, and household goods industries, to name a few.
Examples of Defective Products in Product Liability Cases
- Unsafe tires
- SUVs with defective roofs
- Dangerous toys
- Hazardous appliances
- Vegetables carrying E Coli bacteria
- Pharmaceutical drugs causing harmful side effects
- Defective medical devices or implants
- Medications contaminated during storage
- Lack of warning labels for children and pets
- Lack of product instructions for proper use
Building a product liability case usually necessitates complex investigation and analysis by technical specialists and is a challenging area of personal injury litigation.
