You should speak with a product liability attorney right away if you were injured due to any of the following types of product liability incidents listed below:

• Defective drugs
• Defective workplace equipment
• Defective consumer products

Some examples of instances of negligence that often lead to a product liability case are listed below:

• • Defective design. This type of legal case is common and often arises when a product is designed unsafely or improperly. This is often due to a manufacturer wanting to cut costs, which can lead to the consumer becoming injured.

For instance, if a manufacturer opts to use cheaper materials when designing a hair dryer, which then leads to the consumer being burned or electrocuted while trying to use the device at home, they may have a legal case opened against them to pursue damages.

• Failure to warn. This type of legal claim typically arises when a product’s manufacturer does not properly state the risks of using the product to consumers. Common instances of this can include household cleaning products not having warning labels about the risks involved with using the chemical.For example, a product that fails to warn of the risk of cancer from using the product or the potential for chemical burning of the consumer’s eyes or skin when they come into contact with it.
• Manufacturing defects. This type of case can happen when a product is improperly made during the manufacturing stage, leading to a consumer becoming injured upon use. For example, if during the assembly process a vacuum cleaner is missing a crucial part, which leads to the consumer being injured while using it, the consumer may be able to file a legal case against the product’s manufacturer.
