Products Liability - Dangerous and Defective Products

Products Liability - Dangerous and Defective Products

Every year, thousands of workers and consumers sustain serious injuries from dangerous and defective products. A product may be dangerous because of its poor design, faulty manufacture, or inadequate instructions and warnings provided to the purchaser and user. Many injuries caused by dangerous or defective consumer goods could be avoided if the manufacturers or distributors of these products took additional steps to ensure consumer safety. If you have suffered injuries due to a dangerous or defective product, you may be able to file a claim against the manufacturer to recover damages.

Manufacturers and their marketers must label products in such a way as to warn of all dangers associated with its use. They must specifically state how that product should be used and warn you of the hazards. Examples of defective products that have injured Pennsylvania consumers include:

• Cranes
• Scaffolding
• Construction Equipment
• Elevators
• Automobile tires
• Cosmetics
• Drugs
• Electrical appliances
• Household appliances
• Medical devices
• Medicine
• Pharmaceutical drugs
