Prescription and over-the-counter medications can cause harm when they are improperly manufactured, contaminated, mislabeled, or sold without adequate warnings about known risks. Examples may include medications with undisclosed side effects, incorrect dosage instructions, contaminated drugs, or products that interact dangerously with other medications. For these cases, it is important to review the medication history, warnings, prescribing information, and timing of the symptoms or complications.
Medical devices are often used to improve a person’s health, mobility, or quality of life, but a defective device can create serious complications. Examples may include defective implants, surgical tools, hip or knee replacements, pacemakers, hernia mesh, insulin pumps, or other devices that fail, break, migrate, or do not perform as intended. These cases may require a careful review of medical records, product information, device recalls, and the circumstances surrounding the injury.
Consumer electronics and household appliances can cause injuries when they overheat, catch fire, shock users, break during normal use, or fail to operate safely. Examples may include defective batteries, space heaters, power tools, kitchen appliances, chargers, extension cords, washing machines, dryers, or other household products. It may be important to preserve the product, packaging, instructions, photographs, and any available purchase or repair records.
Parents and caregivers should be able to trust that products made for children and babies are reasonably safe when used as intended. Defective children’s products may include car seats, cribs, strollers, high chairs, toys, baby monitors, bottles, gates, or products with small parts, unstable designs, unsafe materials, or inadequate warnings. Because these cases often involve young children, they should be handled with care, attention, and a focus on understanding exactly how the injury occurred.
Product liability cases involve injuries caused by products that may have been unsafe because of the way they were designed, manufactured, labeled, marketed, or sold. These cases can involve many different types of products, from household items and appliances to medical products, children’s products, electronics, and prescription medications.
When someone is injured by a product, it is not always clear right away what went wrong or who may be responsible. The issue may involve a design problem, a manufacturing defect, missing instructions, inadequate warnings, or a failure to properly test or inspect the product before it reached the consumer.
