Defective Products

US, Canada and Puerto Rico

Defective products are responsible for thousands of injuries to American consumers each year. By law, product manufacturers and sellers are required to take the appropriate measures to ensure that their products do not present a danger to users. Companies must provide sufficient warnings if any part may be unsafe, or if any aspect of the product could injure a consumer. If you have been hurt by a defective product, please contact the product liability lawyers at Balkin & Eisbrouch, LLC today.

A majority of the injuries suffered due to a defective product could have been prevented if manufacturers:

Designed better products
Followed the law and included proper warnings about any threats to consumer health and safety
Did not suppress dangers in an effort to put profits over consumers’ safety

Product Liability Law

Product liability refers to the law that governs the liability of manufacturers and other parties responsible for making a defective product, or allowing it to enter the marketplace. Other than manufacturers, liable parties may include distributors, retailers and suppliers.

A product may become dangerous or defective because of:

Design flaws
Manufacturing defects
Failure to include warnings
Failure to provide complete, sufficient warnings

Proving Negligence

In order to win a product liability claim, your attorneys must prove that your injury was caused by the negligence of another party. This means that a “reasonable” manufacturer should have known that the product’s design was defective or could have foreseen the product causing a consumer injury.
