Seattle Product Liability Lawyers

Product liability is a legal issue that can lead to serious consumer injury or impairment. When a manufacturer releases a product to the general public for consumption, it is the responsibility of that manufacturer to have previously ensured through a battery of controlled factory testing that the product is safe to use and free of defects. Product defects can be caused for a variety of reason, such as:

Product defects can affect products ranging from simple children’s toys to complicated, multi-part automobiles. For instance, if a household appliance is produced, and the product is safe to use as long as it is used in its intended way, then that product cannot be deemed dangerous. However, if a product does pose any sort of danger if used improperly, and the danger is not made known to the consumer, then the manufacturer can be held liable for this oversight. Furthermore, if a product becomes dangerous as the result of a manufacturing defect, such as if a children’s toy is unintentionally produced with a sharp edge that can harm a child, then the toy manufacturer is responsible for any injury that this manufacturing mistake causes.

The Bernard Law Group represents clients throughout the State of Washington, including the following areas:

Regardless of the type of product, it is of the utmost importance that the product is rigorously tested to ensure its safety. It is the responsibility of manufacturers to promptly inform consumers if product danger rears its ugly head. The U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission does an admirable job of policing matters pertaining to product defects, but manufacturers must be protective of their customers nevertheless. Even if a product has an expired warranty, that does not mean that it’s no longer the manufacturer’s responsibility if the product causes harm to the consumer.
