Household products like cleaning supplies, appliances, or personal hygiene products are designed to make our lives easier. Convenience and effectiveness are typically top-of-mind for companies making these products, but defects in design, manufacturing, or labeling can cause illness, injury, or death. When that happens, it’s important to speak with a reputable attorney who knows how to handle product liability claims. If you’ve been injured by an unsafe consumer good, contact Marsh | Rickard | Bryan today.
Household Products
If a consumer of a product has been injured as a result of defective or unsafe product, poor labeling, or inadequate safety measures, they may have legal options. Regardless of whether the product was an appliance, electronic device, cleaning supply, personal care item, or other type of household product, the manufacturers and sellers of these products have a duty of care to make the product reasonably safe to consumers. Should they fail to do so, they may be held legally liable.
Flaws in product design or manufacturing, inadequate safety warnings, or misleading marketing techniques can all potentially lead to consumer injuries. A defective space heater could lead to a house fire. A mislabeled cleaning solution might cause a chemical burn. Sometimes, companies will issue a product recall, but if they don’t do it in time or appropriately, the damage may already be done. Our product liability attorneys can help those who were injured by these products.
To prove that a product caused your injury, it’s important to preserve certain evidence. Preserve the product, purchase records, and photographs of the product. Our team will investigate the product and the manufacturers, distributors and sellers. We will take all of the available evidence into account in evaluating the claim. If we pursue your case, we will fight to obtain adequate compensation for the harm caused by the product, including medical expenses and recovery costs, physical, financial, and emotional harm.
