Many consumer products, such as toys, cribs, household appliances, cars, tires, machines, tools, and even medical devices, are recalled each year because of defects or dangerous conditions that make them unsafe.

Companies that design, manufacture and distribute products that are used at home or in the workplace have a legal duty to ensure the safety of their products when they are put to their intended use.

Sometimes a product is unsafe because it was put on the market without sufficient safety testing. Often a product is unsafe because of poor labeling. In some cases, manufacturers continue to market their products despite knowing that they are causing injuries when used as intended.

When a person brings a lawsuit because of injuries suffered as a result of a defective product, this is what our legal system considers a product liability claim.

Our firm has helped injured people obtain compensation in many types of product liability claims including injuries to workers from defective equipment and injuries to consumers from unsafe tools and other products.

If you’ve suffered a personal injury because of a defective product, in most cases prompt action is required to inspect the product and protect your rights.
