Defective Products
Consumers have the right to expect that the products they purchase are safe for use or consumption. Faulty or dangerous products can seriously injure or kill innocent victims of all ages. If a dangerous or defective has harmed you, Reiff & Bily can investigate what caused your injuries and which parties are responsible under Pennsylvania law. Our product liability attorneys may be able to recover compensation for your injuries, pain and suffering, medical expenses, and other related costs.
Product liability claims typically fall within three categories: manufacturing defects, design defects, and failures to warn.
Manufacturing defects occur when products differ from the intended design and the defect causes bodily injuries or death. For example, if a manufacturer of packaged foods permits bacteria, glass or other contaminants to spoil its products, a consumer that is sickened by the product may have a manufacturing defect claim.
Design defects occur when products present a safety hazard as designed, such as when a circular saw lacks a safety guard.
Failures to warn occur when the manufacturer does not provide adequate warnings or instructions to caution the consumer of a known danger.
Product liability cases present complex and challenging issues. First, the plaintiff must prove that a product was defective. Next, the plaintiff must show that the defect caused the plaintiff’s injuries. This requires a thorough investigation and the retention of experts. The plaintiff then must establish that he or she used the product in a reasonable manner. Our product liability attorneys possess the skills and resources to fully investigate and prepare your case. Let us seek the maximum compensation allowed on your behalf.
Product liability cases can involve a broad variety of products:
- Defective cars and car parts, including faulty seat belts, brakes, air bags, and tires
- Dangerous toys, including toys with lead paint and small magnetic pieces
- Faulty electrical products
- Malfunctioning elevators and escalators
- Defective household appliances
- Defective medical devices, such as pacemakers
- Dangerous prescription drugs, cough and cold medications, and dietary supplements.
