South San Francisco Defective Product Lawyers
South San Francisco Product Liability Attorneys
Defective products refer to all products that do not work as advertised or cause unreasonably safety risks to consumers. While the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) set and enforce safety standards, hundreds of items are still recalled every year. Product manufacturers have a responsibility to provide safe and effective products to consumers. If a defective product has resulted in your serious injury accident, please contact our South San Francisco defective product lawyers regarding your potential case.
Types of Product Defects
Despite strict laws regarding safety testing and use of hazardous materials, dangerous products are manufactured and distributed every year. There are three types of product liability claims that can be made under California product liability law: Design defects, defective manufacturing, and failure to warn.
- Design defects refer to the style, shape, and function of the product that can cause serious injury to consumers. These products are inherently dangerous, and put consumers at risk of injury.
- Products can be defectively manufactured because of shoddy construction, poor quality materials, or the presence of hazardous toxins.
- Drugs, children’s toys, and exercise equipment are a few of the products that typically feature a warning label. When a product manufacturer fails to warn consumers about the potential risks of a product, they can be held responsible for accidents associated with their failure to warn.
Product Recalls
In addition the hundreds of products the CPSC recalls each year, the FDA also recalls thousands of food products, pharmaceutical drugs, and medical devices. Products are typically recalled after the defective product has already harmed a number of consumers. Many consumers continue to use the dangerous products even after they have been recalled, causing serious injuries to a number of individuals each year. If you have been injured because of a recalled product, the product manufacturer can be held responsible for the damages related to your injuries.
