Defective Products

Defective Products and Product Liability

As consumers, we have the basic right to expect the product we buy to maintain a certain level of safety. Big companies are required to create safe products and include any necessary disclaimers and warnings. When they do not meet this obligation and you or a loved one are hurt using their products, you should seek legal counsel.

A defective product poses a serious health risk to consumers. Millions of people use a variety of devices under the belief that they are safeguarded from a serious health risk. Medical device defects leave consumers at serious risk of incurring a debilitating injury or even death if the issue goes undetected. A medical device is an instrument designed to aid in the diagnosis or treatment of health-related issues, and, when functioning properly, has the potential to vastly improve the lives of people suffering from chronic diseases, illness, or health-related abnormalities. As advancements in technology offer even greater potential for medical devices to aid in diagnoses and treatment, so too do opportunities for malfunctions and defects to occur.
