A quick look at a website run by the government that focuses on recalls shows us a scary picture. There are many recalls that happen and you may not even know about them. According to the FDA, there are currently hundreds of pages of items that have been recalled. Some examples are:
- Homeopathic spray for weight loss because of microbial contamination
- Children’s Advil because the dosage cup has incorrect markings
- Cookies and cream brownies because the “Contains” label does not include “egg”
- Spring pasta salad because it may contain salmonella
These are just a few of the hundreds of items under recall. There are also many motor vehicle recalls, child safety seat recalls, and tire recalls.
Product liability cases usually arise in one of three ways:
- They are poorly designed from the beginning and end up causing harm to the consumers.
- There is a manufacturing problem that alters a product from its original design, leading it to become dangerous for consumers.
- The product has labeling problems. This can include the wrong dosage requirements, not listing side effects, and not properly warning consumers of all hazards associated with the product (possible allergens, chocking hazards, burn hazards, etc.).
Dangerous Situations
Products that are defective can really cause harm. If a lawn mower breaks, flying metal could cause lacerations. If a medication dosage is not properly listed, you could give too much or too little of a vital med.
Hospital visits are real possibilities in the aftermath of a defective product accident. Some people have even died due to faulty products.
