Considering just how many products we use on a daily basis, it is a wonder more are not defective. We are lucky to have strict regulations in the United States that set codes for most products, from our vehicles and toys to our foods and pharmaceuticals.
But that doesn’t mean they are all safe all the time.
Most product liability cases arise in one of three ways:
- Defective Designs – the product was poorly designed from the start, leading it to be unsafe for the consumer.
- Manufacturing Defects – somewhere in the manufacturing phase of a product, it was altered from the original design to make it defective and unsafe for consumers.
- Improper Labeling – this is a broad point. Companies are required to warn consumers of all possible hazards related to their products. This includes things like warning of small parts that could be hazardous to children to letting consumers know not to use a product near water. This can also include side effects for medications as well as letting consumers know the proper dosages.
If something goes wrong with any of those points mentioned, people can become seriously hurt or ill. Faulty products can lead to hospitalizations and even death.
Medical expenses can become enormous. If you have to miss work, you could lose income you need to support you family.
There are plenty of faulty products that we hear about on a daily basis. Sometimes it is a poorly designed vehicle engine that spontaneously catches fire. Other times, we hear of carbon monoxide detectors that didn’t work.
Regardless of how a faulty product caused harm, these cases can be hard to prove. Often, the company that is facing a lawsuit attempts to place the blame for the injury on the consumer. This can be emotional for those who have experienced an injury or loss of a family member.
