COMMON PRODUCTS REGULATED BY THE CPSC

Product liability law allows consumers who have been harmed to recover damages from manufacturers, distributors and retailers for injuries caused by defective products.

With this in mind, it’s also important to note that virtually all products are covered by product liability law, not just what you see on store shelves.

While foodpharmaceuticalsautomobilesmedical devices and even commercial jets can fall under product liability law, there are a number of common, everyday items that also fall under this category.

Some of these items include:

  • Home and office furniture
  • Household consumer goods
  • Electronics / electrical items
  • Takata Airbags

It is important to note that consumers do not always have to be the original owner of the product. For instance, you may be able to sue the manufacturer of a defective saw that injures you, even if you borrowed it from your friend.

Furthermore, even if sellers put their label on a product after purchasing it from another manufacturer, they may still be subject to a strict liability claim.

CALIFORNIA LIABILITY STANDARDS

Strict liability is the standard that usually applies in California lawsuits related to defective products.

This standard allows the court to decide if manufacturers are responsible for injuries, even if they were not negligent.

In practical terms, this means that even if manufacturers can demonstrate they used care in designing and producing a product, they are still liable for damages if the injured consumer can prove:

  • That the product was defective;
  • They were using it as directed; and
  • The product was not modified substantially.

Product liability claims can also be brought under a negligence theory. In this approach, the consumer must demonstrate that the manufacturer, distributor or other party involved in selling the product did not fulfill a duty to ensure that consumers received a safe product. Those claims can arise from a failure to anticipate design flaws or potential misuses, negligence in maintaining the manufacturing equipment or failure to issue warnings in product information.

A third claim, breach of warranty, emerges from the failure of a manufacturer or retailer to sell a product that is in proper condition and free from defects.

My attorney was Mr. Juan, and he was nothing short of amazing. He called me and kept me in the loop of everything so I would always know what was going on with my case. And for the things I didn’t understand, he made sure she put it into terms where I could. I would definitely recommend them & their services.

I got in a car accident and sustained pretty serious injuries. My family thought it would be wise to get me a lawyer, and I was assigned to Mr. Robert. It was my first experience with this, and they were able to get me a good sum after all my medical bills were paid. So I’m satisfied and would recommend them.

They took care of me and contacted me directly, which is much better than what other lawyers did, and they ensured I was taken care of. I feel like Mr. Robert really fought for me, and he or his paralegal was always available whenever I had questions or whenever I didn't understand something.
