Maryland Product Liability Attorneys
It is expected that manufacturers will create products that do not place consumers at risk for harmful injuries or death. If there is a chance that the product may cause harm or injury, proper warning labels must be placed on the packaging to inform the consumer of this risk. Any product that causes bodily injury to the user, due to a flaw in its design or construction, is considered a defective product.
There are a variety of products which may cause the consumer or user of the product to suffer serious injury and even death. Many of these items can be found in your home, including household appliances, electronics, toys, and medications.
Listed below are brief explanations of three different types of product liability claims:
- Design defect claim-The faulty design of a product poses a threat and results in a physical injury.
- Manufacturing defect claim-A defect in the product which took place during the manufacturing phase results in serious physical injuries.
- Failure to warn claim-The product lacks adequate warning labels on the packaging to inform consumers of safety hazards, which results in physical injuries while using the product.
Defective products have the potential to cause serious injuries and permanent disabilities, such as amputations, burns, lacerations, head and neck injuries, and/or spinal cord injuries, which may entail hospital stays, surgeries, and expensive medical treatments. Depending upon the type and severity of your defective product related injury, you may not be able to perform work duties, care for your children, or take part in your favorite activities and hobbies.
