Product Liability Explained

While most consumers expect the FDA to ensure that the products they regulate are safe for their intended use, this is unfortunately not always the case. Often, products are rushed through the FDA approval process and do not undergo adequate safety testing. Frequently the long-term effects of certain drugs are not properly evaluated or are not fully disclosed to the public. In other product liability cases, a company may intentionally misrepresent their product as being safe for a certain age group or demographic, when in fact it is not. Although the specific circumstances of a product liability claim may vary, our attorneys regularly represent victims who have suffered serious harm, including brain injury, spinal cord injury, and burn injury, as a result of a manufacturer or merchant’s negligence.

Common Product Liability Cases

There can be a wide range of injuries when it comes to product liability; our attorneys generally handle only cases that involve serious harm, including cases of wrongful death. Some of the most common types of product liability claims include:

• Vehicle defects, including faulty tires, airbags, and vehicle design
• Defective or dangerous drugs
• Faulty machinery (including safety guards)
• Inadequate propane and natural gas storage
• Improper safety warnings on dangerous toys, machinery, and appliances
• Faulty software programming on vehicles, appliances, and prescription drug databases
