Defective Product Examples
Each year, hundreds of people are killed and many thousands of others injured by products that are defective or which contain inadequate warnings about dangers to consumers. At Aiken & Jacobsen in Sacramento, California, our attorneys have extensive experience holding product manufacturers, distributors and retailers responsible when their products cause serious injury or death.
The following are examples of types of dangerous products:
- Children's products — Many children suffer serious injury or die as a result of defects in toys, car seats, strollers, furniture, bedding, clothing and other products.
- Defective household products — Defective electrical appliances such as fans and microwaves can cause fires. Other products may contain dangerous chemicals or other hidden hazards.
- Defective auto components — When brakes, seat belts, tires or other auto components fail to function as designed, a serious auto accident can be the result.
- Defective industrial equipment — Industrial equipment such as conveyors, nailers, punches, presses and cutters can result in amputations and crush injuries. In some cases, the injury is caused by inadequate or missing safety guards.
- Defective drugs and medical devices — Many drugs contain inadequate warnings about side effects that can cause serious injury or death. Some implanted medical devices fail to function as intended and need to be removed through surgery.
Our attorneys each bring more than 10 years of dedicated experience to defective product cases. Whether through settlement or trial, we are prepared to make manufacturers, distributors and retailers pay when they sell products that harm consumers.
