5 HELPFUL TIPS FOR A DANGEROUS PRODUCT CASE

Manufacturers, designers, distributors, retailers, and those who sell a product are obligated to distribute a product that is not unreasonably dangerous.

A product may be unsafe and dangerous in the manner it is manufactured or designed.  A product can also be unsafe and dangerous if it lacks adequate safety warnings.  

A cause of action also exists for a breach of warranty.  If the accident occurred at work, a workers’ compensation claim may exist.

Cigarette and drug companies have been publicized for producing dangerous products;   however, unsafe products can also include unreasonably dangerous medical equipment, prescription and non-prescription drugs, motor vehicles, carpenter tools, machinery, and almost anything else that can be sold.

Further Considerations

Engineering standards, medical standards, and government safety standards are used to help determine whether a product is safe for use.  It is usually necessary to speak with a New York product liability lawyer to help determine whether a product is unreasonably dangerous.  Inspecting the product is important and all attempts should be made to preserve the product.
