Although space heaters are intended to provide much-needed warmth during those colder months, use of these products can carry significant risks. Defective designs, malfunctioning devices, overheating issues, and a lack of safety warnings can result in injuries like burns, electric shocks, and even fires that may cause devastating property damage or injuries to yourself or your family. If you or someone you know has been injured by a portable heater, contact Marsh | Rickard | Bryan to learn what to do next.
Space Heaters
In many cases, space heater injuries occur because of manufacturing flaws, substandard components, or the failure of companies to adequately alert consumers to known dangers. Holding designers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and even marketing companies accountable through a lawsuit can help victims recover compensation for medical expenses and other damages, like pain and suffering and lost wages. It can also promote safer production standards and potentially stop future injuries from happening.
If you or a loved one has suffered harm from a portable heater, it’s important to contact an attorney right away. These type of product liability claims often focus on whether the heater was defectively designed, improperly manufactured, or sold without sufficient safety warnings or instructions. In some cases, a product recall may have been issued, but the consumer was never informed—or they were informed too late.
