Is a Manufacturer Liable for Injury Caused by a Defective Product?

From cars to power tools to baby items, consumers understand that using any product comes with a risk. However, they don’t expect the product to cause harm when used properly.

While not always the case, there are situations in which a manufacturer can be held liable for an injury caused by a defective product. As a consumer, you need to understand these situations:

• When advertising tricks a consumer into believing a product is something it’s not.
• A manufacturer fails to take the proper level of care in producing the product.
• Breach of warranty. A product does not meet the claims made by the manufacturer.

If you suffer an injury caused by a defective product, there are two things you need to do:

• Receive immediate medical attention.
• Consult with a knowledgeable defective product injury lawyer.
