Products Liability

This area of law is designed to protect the consumer against products that are defective or unreasonably dangerous. Manufacturers and product designers, along with other parties who are selling in the supply chain, are required to do so reasonably and take ordinary care so that products can be used safely for the purpose intended.

There are multiple avenues to hold a party liable in this very complex area of law. Our lawyers are experienced in all areas of products liability law and will be able to determine whether you have a case with legal merit.

Products liability comprises a vast range of items from those we touch every day to the components in equipment, medical devices, household goods and pharmaceuticals. The following is a list of just a few of the products that may cause harm:

• Household items
• Workplace products
• Guns and firearms
