Often product liability is not a common term with which everyone is familiar who does not have a legal background. In actuality, it’s a method of describing a manufacturer or seller can be held responsible if that product is defective or faulty in some way. If a defective product has caused you harm resulting in personal injury, the manufacturer or retailer has the burden of responsibility to compensate you for your injuries. You deserve compensation for unnecessary injuries!

Below are some common items that can cause injury.

Cars – These items can include defective windows, tires, brakes, airbags, or even seat belts.

Children’s products – These items can include defective or unsafe toys, child safety seats, baby furniture, carriages, and pack and plays.

Household products – The items can include defective appliances, furniture, carbon monoxide or smoke alarms, or asbestos-related products.

Food and drinks – Food and drinks that cause injury can come from the a grocery store, restaurant, or other source and can include infant or toddler food or formula, which may even contain objects that it should not or be the cause of food poisoning.

Motorcycles and related products – Products associated with motorcycles or bikes that can cause injury are defective tires or helmets, or flaws in the design of these and related products.

Recreational vehicles and equipment- These items can include defective motor-homes, trailers, campers, snowmobiles, boats, jet skis, or playground equipment.

Sports equipment – These items can include defective helmets, padding, snowboards, skis and water skis, and wake boards.

Heavy machinery, construction equipment, and tools – These items that can cause injury include but are not limited to defective industrial machinery, bulldozers, hydraulic equipment, defective table saws, jigsaws, and other hand tools.

Medical products and pharmaceuticals – These products can include defective drugs and medical implant devices.

Tobacco and smoking substitutes- These items can include cigars, cigarettes, tobacco, e-cigarettes, and nicotine vaping paraphernalia.

Although you may assume the products mentioned above or other products may not caused you injury, it must be because you failed to follow instructions or did something wrong, it’s not necessarily you who is at fault. The product may have a designed or manufacturing flaw and may have been sold with these flaws. The product may not have been labeled appropriately or may have not included instructions or the instructions may not have been included or were the wrong ones.

At times, products are designed inadequately or may even just be dangerous. The product manufacturer or retailer may have also failed to warn against the product’s dangers or didn’t appropriately inform the consumer on how to properly utilize the item. For instance, candy suitable for an older child or an adult might be hazardous to a small child and they might choke on it or be unable to chew and digest it properly. It’s also possible that a product previously deemed as safe such as asbestos or lead paints are now known to be unsafe.
