Product Liability
The Consumer Product Safety Administration states that 28,000 Americans die and 33,000 others are injured annually by consumer products. If you are injured by a defective or dangerous product, the attorneys at the Dothan, Alabama law firm of Morris, Cary, Andrews, Talmadge & Driggers, LLC can help you receive compensation.
The law once provided that it was the responsibility of the purchaser to ensure safety. That is no longer the case. Now manufacturers must guarantee the safety of their products.
There are three broad areas of product liability:
- manufacturing defects,
- design defects,
- failure to give consumers warning of potential dangers.
Products can range from manufacturing machinery to a child's toy. In fact, the federal government reports that there are nearly 150,000 toy-related injuries treated in emergency rooms each year.
It was through the efforts of lawyers that such dangerous and destructive products such as certain models of the Ford Pinto (which burst into flames when hit from the rear) and the Chevrolet truck (with side mounted fuel tanks) were recalled. The manufacturers made choices to introduce dangerous products into the marketplace because they considered it to be more profitable than to retrofit the products to make them safer.
