Defective Products & Product Liability
A “product” is a consumer item, typically some type of machine, that you use, and would include things such as motorcycles, ladders, lamps, hair dryers, lawn mowers, machinery, televisions, and bicycles. A product defect claim can be filed when the product in question was unreasonably dangerous when put to a reasonably anticipated use by a consumer. Products can be defective because they were defectively manufactured or defectively designed without adequate safety features. In addition, the lack of warnings can make a product defective.
Types of Cases
Manufacturers and distributers have a responsibility to take all necessary precautions to protect the public from injury and illness, and this duty includes properly testing their products to ensure they are safe. When their negligence leads to harm of a consumer, every company in the chain of commerce, from manufacturer to wholesaler to distributer to retailer can be held liable for a product that is defective or unreasonably dangerous. There are a variety of circumstances that can lead to a product liability claim, including:
- Defective products
- Recalled products
- Defective tires
- Recalled medical devices and implants
- Defective toys and children’s items
