Dangerous & Defective Products

Charlotte Defective Product Attorney

Products liability arises from defective products or defective designs as well as from failing to warn about the dangers of industrial or consumer products. Dangerous and defective products can cause serious injury or death. Such injuries include severe burns from chemical products, internal damage from consumable products such as dangerous drugs, and brain damage. Head injury, spinal cord injury, and broken bones may also result from defective motor vehicles, machinery, or industrial equipment.

Defective Products - Manufacturing Defects

Manufacturing defects include many dangerous or defective products that manufactured. Some of the more prevalent defective products manufactured include the following:

• Automotive Defects: Defective automotive components include seat belts, seat backs, tires, airbags, roofs and other defective car parts
• Defective Consumer Products: Defective consumer products include kitchen appliances, power tools, lawnmowers, hot water heaters, flammable clothing, lead based paint, toys, and choking hazards
• Defective Machinery and Industrial Equipment: Defective machinery and industrial equipment include construction equipment, pumps, punches and presses, other devices without proper guards, and other manufacturing equipment
• Defective Drugs: Defective drugs include many of the drugs recalled by the FDA, including Ortho Evra

Defective Products - Design Defects

Design defects include defects in the overall design or defects in the types of materials called for in manufacturing certain products. Some examples of design defects include the following:

• SUV Design: Design defects are largely responsible for many of the SUV rollovers that happen every year
• ATV Design: ATV design defects include their propensity to rollover. Although many ATV rollovers are a result of inadequate knowledge about the limitations of ATVs, manufacturers may nevertheless be liable for failing to warn consumers about the dangers of their product

If you have been injured by a commercial product because of a defective design, because it was defectively manufactured, or because you were not adequately warned about a product's inherent dangers, you should consult an experienced products liability lawyer.
