If you have suffered damages or a physical or mental injury due to a product that you used, you may be able to file a defective product liability claim. There are a vast range of defective product claims that can include everything from faulty manufacturing to poorly labeled items.
Defectively Manufactured Products
A common issue for this sort of claim are the defectively manufactured products. These are products that have a flaw due to some mistake made in their production and, as a result, the end product is not the same as the other items being sold on shelves. This can be something like a cracked chain link or a bike with brakes that do not activate properly. Cooking gadgets are a common source, and a dangerous one, for these types of defects.
Pharmaceutical Product Liability Claims
Like other defective products, pharmaceutical-drug-based product liability claims deal with the issue of an item that was sold being made incorrectly. However, with pharmaceuticals, there is a greater chance for greater side-effects. In some cases it may be that a drug that has been on the market for some time has been found to be causing an increased risk for other forms of injury (like heart disease).
