WHAT IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT?
Every day, we rely on numerous products to make our lives more convenient and comfortable. However, defects in product design, manufacturing, or labeling can have devastating consequences. In 2021 alone, 11.7 million Americans visited emergency rooms due to product-related injuries.
As a consumer, you expect the products you bring home to work properly and not endanger your family. Unfortunately, each year, thousands of products are recalled due to defects, injury risks, and manufacturer negligence.
Recalls can range from child car seats and airbags to cleaning products and food items. Recent examples include General Motors recalling over 2 million vehicles due to faulty ignition switches that resulted in deaths and injuries, and Johnson & Johnson’s talcum powder-based feminine hygiene products being linked to ovarian cancer.
Our legal system has created product liability laws to protect consumers from dangerous products. These laws hold manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, and retailers accountable for injuries and harm caused by their products.
Unfortunately, consumers often discover a product defect only after they’ve suffered harm. This can be frightening, especially when certain product defects pose life-threatening risks.
WHY CONTACT A PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY FOR YOUR PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIM?
Companies and manufacturers have a legal obligation to produce safe and reliable products for consumers. When they fail to do so, they can be held accountable for any harm caused by their products.
If you believe a product caused harm to you or a loved one in any of the ways mentioned above, then an injury lawyer with Daniel Stark can help you evaluate your claim and identify the type of defect and its cause. Call us at (800) 474-1233 or fill out a free initial consultation form and tell us about your injuries today.
WHAT TYPES OF PRODUCT RECALLS SHOULD YOU BE AWARE OF?
Product recalls occur in a variety of industries, posing risks to consumer health and safety. Here are some common types of product recalls:
- Motor vehicles: Every year, millions of vehicles are recalled due to defects that can endanger drivers and passengers. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests vehicles and issues recalls for consumer safety. Manufacturers are required to repair the vehicles at no cost to consumers.
- Pharmaceuticals: Pharmaceuticals and drugs are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Pharmaceutical recalls are often categorized by risk levels.
- Medical Devices: The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) oversees the standards, approval, manufacture, and safety of medical devices. Certain hip replacement devices and other surgical supplies are among the well-known recalled medical devices.
- Consumer Products: All consumer products must meet federal standards. While the government closely monitors products for infants and children, dangerous consumer products still make their way onto shelves, posing risks to individuals of all ages.
If you were injured by a defective product, you may be entitled to recover the full value of your losses. This includes economic damages for financial losses like medical bills and missed work days, as well as non-economic damages for pain and suffering. In cases involving death, surviving family members may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim.
