Defective Products

Defective Products

Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers have a legal and ethical obligation to create, produce, and sell reasonably safe products that will not cause harm or injury to a consumer. Unfortunately, thousands of people are injured every year in accidents that resulted from the use of defective products. If the people responsible for putting these products on the marketplace took additional steps to ensure consumer safety, many of these injuries and accidents could be avoided. If you have sustained an injury in an accident caused by the use of a defective product, you may be entitled to monetary compensation for your pain, suffering, emotional distress, medical expenses, and financial loss.

At Pitman, Kyle & Sicula, we have experience representing people who have been injured by a variety of defective products, such as:

  • Machinery
  • Child care products
  • Toys, car seats, cribs, etc.
  • Defective and/or unsafe vehicles (motorcycles, automobiles, boats, etc)
  • Pharmaceutical products and medicine
  • Household items and appliances
  • Construction equipment
  • Machinery
  • Food products and food poisoning
  • Tools
  • Electrical equipment (heater, fireplace, etc.)
  • Gardening equipment
  • Cleaning products
  • Lemon law claims
  • Medical devices

There are three main ways in which a product may be defective:

Manufacturing Defect: The product is not inherently defective, but rather became defective at some point during the manufacturing process. In most cases, the victim is required to prove the manufacturer’s negligence is the cause of the product’s defect, except in cases of strict liability. In cases of strict liability, the victim only needs to prove the product was defective.

Design Defect: A flaw in the design of the product makes it unreasonably safe for the consumer. In most cases, design defects are inherent, and exist in the product from its inception.

Marketing defect: The product was not sufficiently labeled, and the consumer was not provided with proper instructional materials and warnings of the products’ potential dangers.
