Consumer Product Liability Lawyers

Consumer product liability involves holding a company responsible to pay for a person’s medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and any other damage caused by the ordinary use of the product. It may also involve the filing of a wrongful death lawsuit if the consumer product caused or contributed to the death of a user.

What are Types of Consumer Product Liability Claims?

Pressure Cooker Injuries – Since electric pressure cookers came onto the market, there have been hundreds of claims where a user was able to open the pressure cooker while it was still pressurized despite the products advertising that the units cannot open while under pressure. Our pressure cooker lawyers have handled hundreds of defective pressure cooker claims on behalf of customers who suffered severe burns when the pressure cooker lid blew off during the cooking cycle, or where the lid opened after the steam was released yet the contents were still under pressure.

3M Combat Arms Earplugs Lawsuits – Members of the military who served between 2003 and 2015 and suffered hearing loss and tinnitus caused by 3M’s earplugs may be entitled to compensation.

What are the Theories of Liability in a Defective Consumer Product Claim?

There are various ways to hold a company liable for compensation if you were injured by a defective product. Negligence involves holding a company responsible where they had a duty to use reasonable care, failed to act reasonably, and someone was hurt or killed by the product. Many states also allow claims of strict liability. This may include claims of manufacturing defects, design defects, and marketing issues, like failure to warn or inadequate, vague or confusing warnings.
