Consumer Products Information

   Consumer products liability refers to the responsibility of any
parties involved with the defective nature of a consumer product.
There are three types of product defects that create liability for
manufacturers and retailers: design defects, manufacturing
defects, and defects in marketing.  Although federal safety
standards exist to monitor components of products such as toys
and automobiles, design flaws or quality control problems can
make these consumer products unsafe in other ways. Reports
from consumers may be the first indication to the agencies that
safety problems exist.

 



     Civil and criminal lawsuits have been filed when a breach of
safety in a product occurred. When consumers are injured or
harmed by a product while using it as intended, the manufacturers,
wholesalers, designers, retailers, and anyone involved with the
product being sold to the consumer may be liable to pay
compensation. An experienced attorney can help evaluate the
circumstances surrounding consumer product safety. For this and
more information, the Consumer Products Safety Commission
provides up-to-date data on dangerous products.
