Harmful Products Are Pulled Off the Market Every Year
Have you ever visited the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's website or looked up auto recalls with the Office of Defects Investigation? If so, you were probably amazed at the number of recalls that occur on a regular basis. Products are constantly pulled off the market due to safety hazards and by the time many of these harmful products are recalled, there have already been numerous injuries.
Defective products can cause catastrophic injuries and death. Manufacturers are often focused on getting products on the market quickly and may cut corners to do so. The consumers are the ones that end up paying the price when these products turn out to be dangerous.
If you have been injured by a defective product in Florida, you have the legal right to hold the manufacturer or other responsible party liable for your injuries. There are basically three different categories of product defects, which include design defects, manufacturing defects and failure to warn.
A design defect exists when the products manufactured have a similar design flaw, which is defective and unreasonably dangerous. Design defects could include a structural flaw or missing safety features.
Manufacturing defects occur when something went wrong during the manufacturing process. These defects can happen when there are problems with the materials used or something happens during the construction of the product.
Failure to warn can make a product defective. Manufacturers are supposed to warn of any known dangers associated with the products. These cases typically involve medications, dietary supplements and heavy machinery.
