Take a look around your house or workplace to see how much you rely on things and equipment. Our kitchens are stocked with appliances, and our garages are stocked with enough power toys to make youngsters jealous. Every day, you use thousands of things without even thinking about them. When your equipment fails, you may become frustrated. You could be badly injured if your items fail.
It Can Happen
- It can happen while driving. You rely on your car to bring you there. You anticipate arriving securely at your locations. Automobile manufacturers are not always responsible for informing customers about product flaws. Perhaps the new brakes you fitted were defective.
- It is possible that it will occur at home. Your new television may trigger a fire, or your blender may not have been manufactured with the appropriate safety features. It’s possible that the corporation failed to recall both of them.
- It may occur at work. Injuries can occur as a result of faulty equipment. Heavy machinery failures could result in death or dismemberment.

What to Do When a Product You Own Is Recalled
We are surrounded by so many things in our daily lives that it is very likely that we may own a recalled product at some point. Recalls are typically conducted due to safety concerns created by a defective product; thus, it is critical to respond appropriately to the recall.
When you buy a product, you should fill out the registration information provided by the producer. This ensures that you are notified of any relevant product recalls as they occur. Without direct contact from the manufacturer of a recall, you must rely on notices posted in retailers that sell the goods, which is a rather haphazard method.
You should carefully examine any notification of a safety problem or product recall. It will tell you how to respond to the recall. Typically, you will be urged to discontinue the use of the product or to arrange for a cure. In most cases, manufacturers can correct the fault, replace the goods, or refund your money.
- Baby and consumer goods: Replaced rather than repaired or refunded
- Automobiles with flaws: Repairs are more common than replacements or refunds.
- Dangerous drugs include: They are usually refunded rather than replaced.
Product Defect Attorneys
As a user, you have the right to expect that the things you buy will be reasonably safe when used in the manner intended. Unfortunately, goods are not always safe and can cause injuries ranging from kid poisoning and choking to major cuts or puncture wounds and house fires. When this happens, you and your family should not have to face the financial burden alone. The corporation that provided the faulty goods should accept responsibility for the flaw that injured you or a loved one.
This page can help you understand the types of product defects that can cause damage, but the best approach to learn about your legal rights and alternatives after being injured by a defective product is to speak with a product liability lawyer in person. Please call us today for a no-obligation introductory consultation at one of our two convenient locations.
Manufacturing Defects
Manufacturing errors arise when a product does not meet the engineered design when it leaves the assembly line. This could be due to a variety of factors, including inadequate quality control, subcontracting our manufacturing, hiring unskilled personnel, or using outdated manufacturing processes.
Manufacturing flaws are frequently caused by cost choices. Quality control, as well as modernizing machinery and methods, can be costly. Manufacturing can be outsourced to save money; however, subcontractors do not always adhere to the original standards and may even swap harmful chemicals for safe ones.
Design Defects
Many defective items are designed to be defective. Design flaws occur when a company’s product engineers fail to properly account for all of the regular conditions in which a product could fairly be used. They may choose to utilize inappropriate materials, neglect to install enough protections, or fail to account for potential hazards to those who are taller, heavier, or have longer limbs. They may create items that pose unjustifiable risks to children.
These design flaws are frequently purposeful decisions made to make a product more cost-effective in order to boost profits. Because the possibility for increased profit is significant, safety equipment is omitted, cheaper materials are inserted, and engineer concerns are ignored.
Instruction Defects
When reading unclear instructions, they can appear humorous, but they can also result in fatal consequences. Unclear assembly and use instructions can render items unsafe for most customers to use. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to ensure that you understand how to use a product safely and correctly.
When a corporation does not employ qualified dedicated employees to write instructions, adding the work to that of engineers or office staff, instruction faults might emerge.
Product Cases That We Handle
Our Product Liability Lawyers at TheLawNetworks.com have assisted people who have been injured or lost a loved one as a result of defective products of many kinds. The following are some of the most typical types of product liability lawsuits:
- Automobile Components:
Unsafe auto parts can cause horrific accidents and take the lives of innocent people. We’ve worked on situations involving malfunctioning ignition switches, exploding airbags, and other issues.
- Medical Equipment:
Many different sorts of medical gadgets and tools have been discovered to be harmful to people. IVC blood clot filters, Stryker hip implants, hernia mesh, knee replacements, and other devices are examples.
- Prescription Drugs and Medicine
Prescription and over-the-counter medications are frequently shown to be hazardous, if not cancerous. You may have a product liability case if you or a loved one acquired cancer, had a terrible illness, or died as a result of a harmful drug.
- Heavy Equipment
Heavy machinery and equipment used in industrial settings or on construction sites can fail, resulting in workplace injury and fatalities. We have represented injured workers and their families in cases against machinery and equipment manufacturers.
- Consumer Goods
Furniture, cosmetics, and personal care products have all been recalled due to the threat they pose to consumers.
What Compensation Can I Receive in a Defective Product Case?
Typical economic losses include:
- A skilled attorney can create a solid estimate of the lifetime cost for many injuries based on expected medical expenditures.
- Medical bills are already way overdue.
- Modifications to the home and car to suit a disability may be part of rehabilitation and physical therapy.
- Wages were lost.
- Reduced future earning potential if you are no longer able to work in the same career.
Noneconomic damages that are common include:
- Suffering and pain, including chronic agony
- Reduced quality of life as a result of activities you can no longer enjoy owing to injury
- Trauma
- Disfigurement
If you lost a loved one as a result of a defective product, you could file a wrongful death case to seek compensation that includes:
- The estimated lifetime earnings of a loved one
- Funeral costs
- Companionship loss
- Grief
The compensation amount in your case is determined by the circumstances of the event and the type of harm. Brain injury might be difficult to establish and convincingly defend, but it is possible. If your case takes a long time to resolve, you may be paid a share of the settlement.
In rare situations, your compensation may be reduced by previous payments. If, for example, you were hurt at work by a defective product and obtained workers’ compensation, the workers’ compensation insurer may seek repayment. If you get Medicaid benefits for medical bills, the same is true.
Determining the Parties Accountable in a Product Liability Lawsuit
Product liability claims can be complicated since numerous corporations or contractors may be involved:
- The producer created a faulty product.
- The individuals or corporations who promoted the product and gave inaccurate or misleading information, causing injury or harm.
- The plant where a product is manufactured or assembled.
- People or companies who distributed and marketed a faulty product.
- The design of a product may be faulty even before it is manufactured. There may be something inherently flawed about the product’s design.
During the manufacturing or assembly process, several flaws may emerge. The product’s design may be perfect, yet cracks or other flaws may be added during the production process. For example, in the case of food, the production plant may infect the food product being produced and packaged.
People involved in marketing and promoting a product, including medical devices or pharmaceuticals, may mislead consumers about its dangers or usefulness. Improper labeling, insufficient safety precautions and warnings, or incomplete or misleading instructions might all be grounds for a product liability case.
