A burn from an uncovered hot surface or a shock from an uncovered wire. Injuries occur when we least expect them. We rely on the products that we buy every day to not only do the job we purchase them to do, but to not cause us harm in the process. However, where a product was sold without proper testing, oversight or review or was brought too soon to market it can cause harm to the ultimate consumer – you. The harmful product lawyers at Thomson Dunkel may be able to help.

Anything you buy from any retailer should be safe for you to use for the generally accepted purposes.

You should be able to rely on the manufacturer, advertiser, repairer and final seller of a product to provide you a product that will not cause you harm.

However, when a product does cause you or someone you know or love physical harm – you are likely wondering what your recourse is.

If you or someone you know or love has been injured because of a product, they may be entitled to recover for the losses they have suffered the result of the injury.

Generally companies have the following duties as to products:

1. Safely Design a Product
2. Ensure for Safe Manufacturing of a Product or Product Components
3. Ensure Safe Assembly of Final Product or Components
4. Adequate Repair of a Product
5. Proper Merchandising or Advertising of Product or Component Capabilities
6. Final Sale of a Safe Product

Whether you know it or not, you consume or use hundreds of products a day. If you are unaware of the total number, it is likely because the products upon which you rely are functioning correctly. Unfortunately, it only takes one product to change your perspective. It only takes one product to cause you harm. The harmful product lawyers may be able to help.

Although the world of potentially harmful products may be vast; they all result in the same end – physical harm to you.

Complex products often have many component parts that makeup the final product. Not only should the final product be safe, but the component parts should be safe as well.

Any product that you buy or acquire and use should be safe.

The following are some of the product classes that have lead to injury due to unsafe design, manufacturing or construction and caused harm to people:

1. Medical Devices or pharmaceuticals
2. Vehicles or automobiles
3. Household equipment like kitchen equipment or appliances
4. ATVs, 4-wheelers, or other outdoor utility vehicles
5. Consumer Tools or power tools
6. Health Devices
7. Electronics
8. Furniture
9. Household fixtures
10. Personal or beauty products – hair products, skin products
11. Kids toys or equipment
12. Toddler or infant products or equipment
13. Gardening equipment or products

Needless to say, there are hundreds if not thousands of products on the market and even in your home or business that you buy and use every day. Some of the products are offered directly to you as a consumer and some of the products are referred to you by professionals.

It is no surprise that claims related to injuries resulting from product defects can be complex. If it is a complex product like a vehicle or large appliance – there will likely be many parties involved, most of who will attempt to lay blame for the product on someone else.
