Dangerous and defective products cause thousands of serious injuries to consumers every year. These defective products include automobiles, motorcycles, recreational equipment, ladders, toys, safety devices for children and certain drugs. Manufacturers of these products have a duty to make and design products that are safe for consumer use or consumption. In addition, the responsibility of the wholesaler or retailer of a product for injuries resulting from dangerous and defective products may come into question during a product liability claim.
A manufacturer also has a duty to warn potential consumers of
dangers associated with a product that seem obvious. Failure to do
any or all of these things may result in injury or death to one or
more consumers. A product liability lawsuit is an effective weapon
against unreasonably dangerous products. As a result, a
manufacturer is made aware of the potential danger and the cost of
injuries a defective product may cause.
