Christmas Season and Defective Product Injuries

Defective product injuries are often times associated with toys and baby products. And as you know, these items are extremely popular during the holiday season.

Unfortunately, there are times when these items cause injury to the recipient. And in the most serious of cases, a defective product can also lead to death.

According to the law, sellers and manufacturers are required to use “reasonable means” to ensure the overall safety of their products. This means three things:

• Product safety testing.
• Ensuring that none of the parts are defective.
• Including usage instructions.
• Providing a warning on the packaging if necessary.

If you or a loved one is injured by a defective product this Christmas, your first priority is simple: receive immediate medical attention.

Secondly, you should consult with an experienced defective product injury attorney. This person can explain your rights, help you reclaim your life, and negotiate a claim you are comfortable with.
