Every year hundreds of new products are released to the public. And although these products are meant to be innovative and smartly designed, this does not guarantee that they are void of faulty manufacturing or design defects.
According to the National Security Council (NSC), a whopping 11.7 million individuals were treated in emergency departments for injuries stemming from consumer products in 2021. This was a 6.8% increase from the year prior. Of these accident victims, older adults and young children were among the most vulnerable.

Probably one of the most well-known product liability cases is that of Philip Morris U.S.A. vs. Mayola Williams. In 1997, Williams sued Philip Morris for the death of her husband, Jesse Williams, on the grounds that Philip Morris neglected to inform its consumers of the health risks when smoking cigarettes.
Williams alleged that Philip Morris was guilty of negligence, strict product liability, and fraud, knowing that cigarettes were addictive and caused cancer, but denied consumers this knowledge. The court found Philip Morris guilty of the death of Jesse Williams, and his widow was awarded $821,000 in compensatory damages and $79.5 million in punitive damages.
In simple terms, a product is considered defective when it poses danger to a consumer without warning or instruction. However, this must not be confused with product misuse. To prove that the said product is defective, it must fall into one of the three following criteria:
A skilled Visalia defective products lawyer will be able to determine which category your defective product falls under and ensure that you receive the maximum compensation possible for your injuries and damages.
Depending on the product defect and the manner of the incident, some accidents may lead to severe injuries. Most especially if these accidents are caused by heavy machinery products or dangerous household items. Being aware of what kind of injury you might have sustained from your accident is a great first step in building a strong product liability claim.
Some of the most common injuries from a defective product are:
Many different kinds of products can lead to an accident victim sustaining a head injury. Some TBIs may be caused by defective products, such as faulty sports equipment meant to protect the wearer but fail to do so.
Burn injuries are common with defective home products. The NSC reported over 6,000 injuries occurred in children ages 0-4 in 2021. These injuries may result from appliances with faulty wiring, such as toasters and blow dryers.
More commonly caused by defective drugs, defective products may lead to internal injuries due to jolts and bumps that may occur from poor manufacturing.
Curious children are often the victims of choking accidents. If a toy is poorly designed or built, its small pieces may break off, causing a child to place this in their mouth, leading to a choking incident. An incident such as this is extremely dangerous if not caught and remedied in time, as it may lead to asphyxiation.
Manufacturing defects in chairs and stools may lead to broken bones. The NSC also reports that chairs, sofas, and sofa beds led to 588,000 injuries, with young children and older adults being the most vulnerable.
To ensure you have a strong and valid claim, you must identify which party or parties may be held liable for your accident-related injuries and damages. Depending on the factors of your accident, the following parties may be responsible for the incident:
Filing a claim for damages due to a defective product and going after a product manufacturer and their insurance company can be complex and demanding. This is why you must base your claim on strict liability, negligence, and breach of warranty.
Here are some other ways in which you may make your claim stronger:
There are numerous kinds of defective products that can be found in the market today. According to the State of the Nation Recall Index report, over 1 billion units of consumer products, food, drugs, motor vehicles, and medical devices in 2021.
Our experienced Visalia defective products lawyers have observed that some of the most common defective products are among the following:
Vehicles – Manufacturing defects in automobiles may result in steering mechanism problems, latch defects, ignition failure, explosive airbags, and transmission failures. Auto accidents due to defective car parts are extremely dangerous and may result in severe crash injuries.
Personal Care Products – Personal care products such as skin care products may cause injuries such as rashes or chemical burns. More serious injuries could result in damage to the body’s systems or even cancer.
Sporting Products – As previously mentioned, faulty sports equipment can lead to a TBI. When sporting products do not meet the proper safety regulations they may result in accidental injury. Carelessly designed bikes, poorly made snorkeling equipment, or defective helmets may critically harm the user.
Home Products – Personal injuries stemming from home products may be the result of defective gas heaters or overheating refrigerators. These kinds of defects can be extremely dangerous as they may lead to catastrophic injuries and significant property damage.
Toys – Children are known for being extremely curious, and tend to put objects in their mouths as a way to explore their surroundings. This is why much care should be taken when manufacturing children’s toys. Toys with small objects that accidentally detach or contain toxic paint are dangerous to young children that may ingest them.
Some products, however, are inherently dangerous, such as knives, guns, pesticides, cutting tools, herbicides, and more. While it may be difficult to prove product liability for these products, it is not impossible.
