How to products become defective?
Defective products occur in all industries. When examining the website that tracks current recalls in the US, we can see faulty items in all of the following:
- Automotive industry and parts
- Aviation parts
- Toys
- Electrical components
- Farm equipment
- Construction equipment
- Other heavy machinery
- Cosmetics
- Cleaning supplies
- Scuba equipment
- Medical devices
- Pharmaceuticals
Products become faulty in a variety of ways, including:
- Faulty designs that are not discovered when a product is being tested. Poorly designed products can cause severe injury to consumers.
- Manufacturing errors that alter a product from its original design. Even well-designed products can be tampered with or changed during manufacturing (both intentionally and unintentionally).
- Labeling issues can affect any product. Consumers depend on product labels for instructions, dosages, warnings, side effects, ingredient lists, allergen lists, and more. When a label does not accurately reflect the product, consumers can become injured or ill.
What kind of injuries can defective products cause?
Defective product injuries vary widely but can include both traumatic injuries as well as internal illnesses. Our product liability attorneys are familiar with cases involving the following:
- Broken and dislocated bones
- Lacerations, punctures, and amputations
- Poisoning
- Severe infections
- Brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Respiratory illnesses and cancer
- Eye injuries
- Burns
- And more
The costs of treating these injuries can be tremendous and include more than medical bills. If a victim cannot work, they could lose the income they need to support their families.
