Injuries / Defective Products Lawfirm
Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Defective Products Injury Attorneys
A dangerous or defective product is one that causes a physical injury or illness to a person as a result of a defect in the product or improper labeling. Products that could be potentially dangerous or defective cover a wide gamut of items you use, take, or drink, including:
- Household cleaners and cleaning products
- Toys
- Automobiles
- Car tires
- Office products
- Industrial machines
- Health and beauty aids
- Feminine hygiene products
- Medical appliances or devices
- Prescription drugs
- Everyday over-the-counter medications that are considered household brands.
Sometimes it can take years to discover that a product could be dangerous or otherwise defective—which typically occurs after several people have already suffered debilitating injuries or illnesses due to use of such products.
The designer, manufacturer, distributor and seller of the products that caused your injury may be held liable for injuries and illnesses caused by dangerous and defective products.
Four main legal theories form the basis of a product liability claim or suit:
- Manufacturing defect cases where the injury was caused by a defect in the manufacture of a product, for example if a propane tank explodes because its valve was improperly assembled
- Design defect cases involving accidents where an injury is caused by a poor design, such as an industrial machine manufactured without proper guards to protect the worker using it
- Failure to warn/improper labeling claims including household appliances and other equipment sold without proper labels that warn about the correct way to use the product to avoid injury. This also includes over-the counter drugs which have labels that do not warn about possible bad side effects if taken with other medications
- Breach of warranty claims involving a product that fails to perform according to its warranty—regardless of whether the warranty is express or implied.
