Defective Product Information
Manufacturers have a responsibility to ensure that their products are safe for consumers. Flaws in the design or manufacturing of a product can have tragic consequences for consumers. Most manufacturers have responsible, effective quality control measures in place to ensure the safety of their products. Unfortunately, some product manufacturers have so little regard for consumer safety that their quality control methods are negligently lax or non-existent.
Defective product victims can obtain compensation for their injuries, including recovery of lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering.
Defective Product Design
A defective product design can result in a defect being repeated throughout production. A toy may be manufactured with small pieces that present a choking hazard if swallowed by children. Or a vehicle's tires may include a design flaw that causes them to fail under normal driving conditions. Typically, these types of defects result in product recalls.
Defective Product Manufacturing
Defective product manufacturing occurs during the production process and is often the result of inadequate quality control or the use of substandard materials.
Inadequate Warning
A product known to be potentially dangerous must include warnings or instructions on how to properly and safely use them. When these warnings are absent or insufficient, the consumer is at risk. Inadequate warnings are often seen in prescription and over-the-counter drugs that do not list dangerous side effects or warn about harmful interactions with other drugs.
If you or a loved one has been injured by a substandard product, you should consult a defective products lawyer. Russell Kohn represents individuals from North County communities, including Oceanside, Carlsbad, Vista, and Encinitas, who have been injured by consumer products they believed to be safe.
