Defective Products

As consumers, we trust that the products we use are safe and free of major defects. We rely on products and equipment at work and at home. It is our reasonable belief that the toys our children play with are safe. However, sometimes products are grossly defective and when these products fail to perform as intended, people get hurt and those injuries can be fatal. Manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers have a duty to provide products that are safe and designed properly. When this duty is not met, they can be held liable for the victim’s injuries. If you or a family member has been injured by a product defect, contact Steven F. Reilly, PC for expert advice on your product liability claim.

According to the most recent report by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, there were an estimated 220,500 injuries and 22 deaths related to children’s toys. Every year people across the country are injured by various faulty products including construction equipment, cranes, automobiles, tires and children’s toys. An injured victim has the right to be compensated for the damages caused by a defective product.

The term “product liability” refers to the legal responsibility of manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers for injuries that resulted from defective products. These products can be anything from home appliances to heavy machinery used in construction. There are laws that protect consumers from dangerous products and allow them to recover damages for their injuries.
