Dangerous Products

Dangerous medical devices; defective products, defective automobiles, and automobile parts; faulty machinery; and other equipment can cause life-altering injuries and death. But what makes this more problematic is that these injuries and deaths are predicted and expected by many product manufacturers and factored in as a “cost of doing business.”

  • A product can become hazardous in a number of different ways, all of which present great danger to consumers: First, there can be a defect in the design at the earliest stage of development. Next, there can be a defect that arises during the manufacturing process. Third, there can be a defect in the marketing of a product, such as mislabeling or false advertising.
  • While some product manufacturers unintentionally make defective products, their conduct is sometimes negligent or reckless. In fact, manufacturers sometimes calculate the cost of paying legal claims due to death or injury as part of a cost of doing business. Manufacturer defects are sometimes thought of as only an economic cost to a company. But to the product consumer, the cost can be death or lifelong injury.
  • Every year, defective products cause millions of injuries and deaths. And product makers and their insurance companies forcefully defend product claims in an effort to dissuade plaintiff’s attorneys from pursuing action and to limit their damages.
