These flaws make the product dangerous from the moment it\u2019s manufactured. These flaws affect the entire product line, not just specific examples.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Manufacturing defects <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 These flaws are errors that occur while making a product. When something occurs in the manufacturing process that deviates from the intended design, the product could be defective. These errors could affect a single product or an entire line.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Marketing defects <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 If a company fails to include information on its labeling or packaging that identifies potential hazards or provides instruction for the safe use of the product, that is a marketing defect. This flaw affects the entire product line.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are a few examples of products that are frequently the subject of defective product lawsuits:<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cars, trucks, and other vehicles<\/b><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Tires and other automotive parts<\/b><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Prescription and over-the-counter medications<\/b><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Medical devices<\/b><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Children\u2019s products<\/b><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Appliances<\/b><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Chemicals<\/b><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Heavy equipment<\/b><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Power tools<\/b><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Building materials<\/b><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Safety equipment<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Who Is Liable for Injuries Caused by Defective Products?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Various parties could be liable for defective product injuries. Those parties include:<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Manufacturers<\/b><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Distributors<\/b><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Retailers<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your attorney can investigate the circumstances surrounding your injuries and determine which parties can be held accountable for your injuries and losses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Types of Legal Claims in Product Liability Cases<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are three types of legal claims in products liability law:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Negligence<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Claims that the product\u2019s manufacturer or seller was negligent in designing, producing, or selling the product, and thus caused it to be defective or dangerous.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Breach of warranty<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 The product\u2019s manufacturer or seller fails to uphold the promises made by the product\u2019s warranty.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Strict liability<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Strict liability isn\u2019t applicable to every claim\u2014but when appropriate, a plaintiff can recover compensation for an injury without having to prove negligence or breach of warranty. The plaintiff must still prove the product to be dangerous or defective, as well as demonstrate the extent and value of their damages.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Injuries Caused by Defective Products<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the potential injuries that result from the use of defective products include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Electrocution<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Defective electronics could cause significant electrical shocks to consumers, whether because of insulation that didn\u2019t provide ample protection from live wires and flowing electricity, drawing more power from outlets than intended, or some other reason.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Organ damage<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Common with new and emerging dangerous drugs, the side effects can be much more severe than reported, leading to consumers of the drug suffering from organ failure or internal bleeding.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Burn injuries<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Most electronics warm when used, but improperly insulated devices can heat surrounding areas and cause fires. Some household tools and appliances are meant to produce heat, and if they ignite, they can severely burn product users and anyone nearby.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Traumatic brain injury<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Traumatic brain injuries are any injuries that affect the functions and health of the brain. They most commonly occur from large forces applied to the head or neck. These types of injuries can result if a part or system on a vehicle fails and causes an accident.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Choking<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Manufacturers and designers must keep children in mind when their products include small pieces that could pose choking hazards if they break off and are swallowed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Bone fractures<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Any product that inflicts significant physical force to a limb or body part due to a defect can shatter bones and limit consumers&#8217; mobility. This kind of injury could result from a defective vehicle part or system or from defective machinery or equipment.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Drownings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 When products designed to help those who can&#8217;t swim or to keep people safe in the water fail, the consequences can be disastrous.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Nerve damage<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Anything from blunt force trauma to defective medications and toxic chemicals can break the connections between the nerves and the brain, forever altering someone&#8217;s mobility.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cancer<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Dangerous lawn products can result in cancer, as can some building materials and dangerous drugs.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if you don&#8217;t see your injury listed here, you could have a valid claim if a product defect caused measurable harm to you during normal use.
