Product liability law is designed to protect consumers from defective or unreasonably dangerous products that cause personal injury or wrongful death. When a product sickens or fatally injures a person, the manufacturer can and should be held responsible for the victim's losses.

Types of Defective Products
Virtually any kind of product can be defective and pose a risk - whether it's a part of your car that didn't work as it should have, a child's toy that causes injury, or a prescription drug that results in major side effects.
Some of the most common defective product injuries occur due to:
- Defective vehicles (including airbag and seatbelt failure)
- Recent automobile recalls
- Stryker hip replacement recall
- Faulty machinery and equipment
- Flawed medical appliances
- Defective consumer and household products
- Products causing explosions and burns
- Transvaginal Mesh
- Talcum powder
- Products causing explosions and burns
Defects usually occur during the design process or the manufacturing process, but they may also involve inadequate instructional manuals or faulty safety devices.
Dangerous Drugs
Drugs can involve a wide range of potential side effects and complications. Pharmaceutical companies have a responsibility to carefully test their products and clearly communicate potential conflicts to doctors and patients alike. Unfortunately, some drug manufacturers allow their products to remain on the market even when they are well aware of the dangerous nature of some of the side effects.
