When we purchase a product, we assume it will do what it claims and not cause injuries.That is not always the case, however. Some products can be very dangerous and cause significant injuries to the user.
Manufacturers have a duty to design and manufacture products that are safe for their consumers to use. They are also required to alert consumers of any potential problems related to their product. When a manufacturer creates an unsafe product, or when it fails to warn consumers that its products might be dangerous, people may suffer as a result.
Yet, manufacturers are not the only ones that can be at fault. The responsible parties may include the manufacturer of component parts, an assembling manufacturer, the wholesaler, and the retail store owner. Any of these companies and individuals could be responsible for a dangerous product and lack of notification.
In any jurisdiction, one must prove that the product is defective. There are three types of product defects that incur liability in manufacturers and suppliers: design defects, manufacturing defects, and defects in marketing. Any one of these defects can cause injury to a consumer. Products can range from toys to cars to chemicals to pharmaceuticals and even everyday household items.
If you have been exposed to a dangerous product, and you have been injured, you may be eligible for significant financial compensation.
