Our product liability attorneys have successfully faced many big corporations in the courtroom. Our focus is on making sure our clients obtain the compensation they need and deserve when they have been harmed by a defective household product.

• Product liability: Product liability refers to the liability of a manufacturer, distributor, seller or other party in the chain of distribution for injuries or damage caused by a defective product. Product liability is usually a matter of strict liability. This means that under product liability law, a manufacturer can be liable when it is shown that the product is defective, whether or not the defect is due to negligence.
• Defective household products: Defective products can be voluntarily recalled by the manufacturer or they can be subject to a recall by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
• Recent product recalls: For a complete list of household product recalls, see the CPSC Web site. Products known to have caused serious injury and, in some cases, wrongful death include: TV/VCR carts that easily tipped over, dumping the contents on a child; window air conditioners that were a fire hazard; electric heaters with loose electrical connections that caused severe electrical shocks.

Manufacturers, distributors and sellers are responsible for providing safe products and for warning consumers of any dangers associated with their products. If they fail to do that and if serious injury or wrongful death results from their failure, they may be held liable for any and all losses. Product liability can result from design defects, manufacturing defects, incomplete or incorrect instructions on the product, failure to warn the consumer, or a failure to live up to a product warranty.
