Product Defects
Every year, thousands of people are injured or killed as a result of dangerous, defective, or faulty products. Estimates show that over 22,000 people are killed annually in the United States from dangerous products such as:
- Defective cars;
- Unsafe and faulty industrial equipment;
- Household appliances;
- Harmful pharmaceutical drugs; and
- Baby/children’s products.
What is a Product Liability Case?
Product liability is an area of the law in which manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, retailers, and others that make dangerous, defective or faulty products available to the public are held responsible for the harm those products cause. Product defects fall into four categories:
- Design Defects
- Manufacturing Defects
- Unreasonably Dangerous Products
- Marketing Defects
