Categories Of Products That Commonly Cause Injury
While virtually any product has the potential to cause harm, some categories tend to be more problematic than others. The biggest culprits include:
- Power tools
- Ladders
- Equipment
- Tires, brakes, seatbelts and other auto parts
- Medical devices and implants
- Child and baby gear (a common category for product recalls)
- Helmets

Depending on the type and complexity of the product, it may be necessary to involve experts in engineering, product design or other fields to help prove your case. Our lawyers can evaluate your situation and take a thorough approach to build a strong case.
Three Types Of Product Defects
There are several ways that product manufacturers can be held accountable for the harm their products cause. The three main categories of product defects include:
- Manufacturing defect: These products are generally safe, but due to quality control or other issues, a single defective product slipped through off the assembly line.
- Dangerous design: Many of these cases involve poor product design that exposes people to needless dangers.
- Inadequate warnings: Manufacturers are required to provide adequate warnings to prevent foreseeable dangers in the use of their products.
No matter what kind of case you have, you can rely on our team to fight for your maximum financial recovery.
