Product Liability Attorney In Opa-Locka, FL

Just to give you one example of how a defective product can change lives, let’s look at nursery products, the items we use around the most vulnerable in our society.

In 2016, there were 62,300 nursery product incidents with children younger than aged five that required emergency department visits according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The top culprits:

• High Chairs – 13,400
• Cribs/Mattresses – 11,300
• Strollers – 10,000

Also high on the list were changing tables, playpens, baby bottles, and portable baby swings.

While we recognize that many of these incidents can stem from human error, we know that many of them are the result of faulty products.

Many Other Products

You hear about defective items on the news all the time. From food safety recalls to vehicles spontaneously catching fire, so many items can be a hazard to you and your family.

Product liability cases usually arise in one of three ways:

1. Poor Design – If a product has a poor design to begin with, it is dangerous to consumers.
2. Manufacturing Issues – If something goes wrong with an item during any stage of the manufacturing process and alters it from the original design, people can become seriously hurt when they use it.
3. Labeling Issues – Manufacturers are responsible for alerting consumers on the label of any hazards associated with their product (burn warnings, small part hazards, etc.). This includes including side effects for medications as well as letting people know the proper dosage.

When one of these three things goes wrong, and someone gets hurt, the manufacturer should be held liable for injuries and illnesses.
