You should never have to worry about you or a loved one being harmed due to a defective product.

If you or a loved one have been injured and need an defective product lawyer, we are ready to help. The Dan Doyle Law Group will investigate what happened and work to secure the compensation you need for all of your injury-related expenses.

WHAT IS PRODUCT LIABILITY?

Have you turned on the news and seen information about a product recall taking place? Or worse, have you seen the news discussing someone being injured or killed due to a faulty product? If so, you are seeing the basics of product liability.

Companies and manufacturers are responsible for ensuring they produce products that are safe for consumers. There are times when these products become defective due to:

  • Poor designs: Almost every product that is for sale has been tested and inspected. Products like pharmaceuticals go through rigorous testing by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and there are several other regulatory agencies for other products. However, there are times when a poorly designed product makes it to the market and causes harm to consumers.
  • Manufacturing errors: Even a product that has a good design can be altered during the manufacturing process, making it just as harmful for consumers as a poorly designed product.
  • Labeling problems: We depend on product labels to tell us how to properly use a product. When a label is incorrect, consumers suffer. Some of the most common label issues include missing, incorrect, or incomplete ingredient lists, hazards, side effects, allergens, dosages, and more.

 

WHAT PRODUCTS ARE AFFECTED?

If you take a look at the website that tracks all current recalls in the US, you may be surprised at what you find. Nearly every industry is affected by defective products, including items you may have in your household:
