When you purchase any item in the United States, there is an underlying promise of safety. If you use products as intended and they become dangerous, you may have a defective product lawsuit on your hands.
Learning more about what defective products are may help you understand the next steps you need to take.
Common Defective Products:
Anything can become a “defective product” if it breaks in a way that no longer serves its intended purpose (or even becomes dangerous). Some items are more likely to fall under this category, including:
- Children’s Toys: Children’s toys should have designs that keep children’s behavior in mind. If a toy intended for toddlers has pieces that may fall out and cause choking or a swing set quickly falls apart, these are defective.
- Electrical Appliances: It’s not uncommon for electronics to encounter defects that may result in shocks or fire.
- Cosmetics: Any personal care products that cause unexpected side effects are defective. These items could be a shampoo that induces hair loss or lotions that give horrible rashes.
- Sporting Goods: Sports may be a “risky” hobby, but that doesn’t mean you don’t deserve compensation when injuries happen because sporting goods fail.
- Smoke Detectors: Smoke detectors are essential preventative tools. If they don’t work, they may fail to protect families from avoidable tragedies.
When Should I Contact a Lawyer?
If you plan on engaging in any lawsuit, getting in touch with a lawyer is an intelligent decision. Lawyers know how to handle a courtroom and learn how to get the best evidence possible for your compensation.
Lawyers may also help you determine any class action lawsuits with the defective product in question. Joining in class action lawsuits may increase your chances of success when seeking compensation over dangerous items.
