In 2017, some of the most dangerous products people bought were:

• Home maintenance products – 212,112 ER visits
• Furniture and fixtures – 3,317,724 ER visits
• Construction materials – 4,581,373 ER visits

Think about how many things you use over the course of a day, and you will likely count hundreds of items. Your vehicle alone has thousands of parts, many of which are made by different manufacturers.

Product liability cases arise in the following ways:

• They are poorly designed from the beginning. While the flaw may not be readily apparent, the design will eventually cause some kind of harm to the consumers. This can affect all of a certain product.
• They have a manufacturing defect that alters them from their original design, leading the consumer to get hurt. This does not necessarily mean the whole line of the product is defective and can just be a batch of the product.
• Labeling problems with products can cause harm in many ways. If a manufacturer fails to warn consumers of all hazards related to their products, they could be held liable for injuries. For example, if a product can get hot, they should warn of a burn hazard. If there are small pieces, they should warn of a choking hazard. Also, medications should have the proper dosage on them and should list all possible side effects.

If you are hurt by a product or become ill because of something you have consumed, your medical costs can quickly add up. If you have to miss work, the lost income could jeopardize the livelihood of your family.
