Product Liability Cases in West Palm Beach

Product liability cases fall under the category of personal injury law but often involve additional complexity. Companies that sell consumer goods are generally legally obligated to ensure those products are safe when used as intended. When someone is hurt by a defective item, Florida law may allow the injured person to file a claim for damages.

In West Palm Beach and throughout Florida, we’ve seen product-related injuries occur in homes, hotels, apartments, and even vacation rentals. From high-end coffee makers to budget pressure cookers, no brand is too big or small to be held accountable when they put people at risk.

Pressure Cooker Burns – A Growing Concern

Over the last decade, pressure cookers have become popular in homes throughout South Florida for their speed and convenience. But when the safety mechanisms on these devices fail, the result is often a catastrophic steam or liquid explosion.

We’ve handled multiple cases where victims in the West Palm Beach area suffered severe burns to the face, arms, and torso after a pressure cooker lid unexpectedly blew off or the contents burst out without warning. Some popular models involved in injury reports include:

• Instant Pot
• Power Pressure Cooker XL
• Crock-Pot Express
• Gourmia
• Ninja Foodi
• Sensio
• Bella
• Maxi-Matic Elite
• Tristar products

Burn injuries can require skin grafts, hospitalization, and extensive recovery time. If you were burned by a pressure cooker, we can help investigate whether the unit was part of a recall or had a known defect—and who may be liable for your injury.

Coffee Maker Explosions and Defective Appliances

Kitchen appliances are among the most common household items involved in product liability cases. In particular, single-serve coffee makers, espresso machines, and kettles have led to serious injuries due to:

• Steam pressure buildup
• Electrical malfunctions
• Spontaneous explosions of glass or plastic components
• Scalding water discharge

We’ve seen claims involving well-known brands sold at major retailers like Target, Walmart, Amazon, and Costco. If your coffee maker exploded or discharged hot liquid unexpectedly, we may be able to help you file a claim for medical costs, lost wages, and more.

Other Burn Injuries From Defective Products

Beyond pressure cookers and coffee makers, we can handle burn cases caused by:

• Space heaters with poor thermal shut-off features
• E-cigarette batteries that explode in pockets or while charging
• Beauty tools like curling wands or flat irons that overheat or short out
• Electric blankets and heated mattress pads causing contact burns
• Hair dye or chemical kits leading to chemical burns

Burn injuries are not just physically painful—they can be emotionally traumatic and lead to long-term scarring or disability. If a product caused your burn injury, you may be entitled to recover compensation.

Who Can Be Held Responsible?

Responsibility in a product liability case may extend far beyond the brand name on the box. Depending on the case, liable parties can include:

• The original manufacturer
• A company that assembled or packaged the product
• A distributor or importer
• A retailer or e-commerce platform that sold the product

We have experience pursuing claims against U.S. and international corporations and know how to navigate these multi-party cases.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Victims of defective product injuries may be able to recover damages for:

• Emergency room care and hospitalization
• Reconstructive surgery or physical therapy
• Lost wages and future income
• Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
• Loss of quality of life
• Permanent scarring or disability

In tragic cases where a loved one died due to a product failure, our firm may be able to bring a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of surviving family members.

Frequently Asked Questions – Product Liability in West Palm Beach

What is a product liability claim?

A product liability claim is a legal action filed against a manufacturer, distributor, or seller of a product that caused injury or harm due to a defect. Under Florida law, these claims can be based on design defects, manufacturing defects, or failure to warn of potential dangers.

How do I know if I have a case?

If you were injured while using a product in a way that was reasonably expected—and the product malfunctioned, lacked proper warnings, or was inherently dangerous—you may have a case. The best way to find out is to speak with a product liability attorney who can evaluate your situation and determine whether the product may have been defective.

Can I sue if a household item burned me or exploded?

Yes. Burn injuries from defective kitchen appliances, pressure cookers, coffee makers, and electronics are among the most common product-related claims we see in West Palm Beach. If the product failed unexpectedly and caused harm, you may be able to seek compensation.

What should I do if I still have the defective product?

Keep it. Do not throw the product away, send it back to the manufacturer, or attempt to fix it. The item may be key evidence in your case. If possible, also preserve packaging, instructions, receipts, and any photos or videos from the incident.

How much time do I have to file a product liability claim in Florida?

In most cases, the statute of limitations for product liability claims in Florida is two years from the date of the injury. However, the clock may start later in certain cases if the injury wasn’t immediately obvious. It’s important to contact an attorney as soon as possible to preserve your rights and any potential evidence.

What if the product was purchased online or from another country?

You may still have a claim. Online retailers like Amazon may be held liable under Florida law if they were involved in the sale or fulfillment of the defective product. Similarly, foreign manufacturers can sometimes be held accountable if their product was sold in the U.S.

Do I have to pay anything upfront to hire your firm?

No. We handle product liability cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t owe us anything for fees or costs unless we recover money for you. Your consultation is also free, with no obligation.

Can I still sue if the product was recalled?

Yes. In fact, a recall may help support your claim, but it is not required. If you were injured before or after a product was recalled, or even if you never received notice of a recall, you may still be able to file a lawsuit.
