What Types of Products Become Defective and Cause Injuries?

When we go look at the government website devoted to keeping track of all recalls in the country, we can see that just about any type of product we use or consume can become defective in some way. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:

• Medications
• Medical devices
• Cleaning products
• Automobiles
• Vehicle parts
• Strollers
• Car seats
• Toys
• Appliances
• Cosmetics
• Foods
• Beverages
• Appliances
• Tools
• Furniture
• …and more

The unfortunate reality is that defective products can lead to significant injuries or internal illnesses for those involved. Most people do not expect the items they purchase to be defective, which means that these injuries and illnesses happen suddenly and without warning.

How do Products Become Defective?

There are many ways that products can become defective, but we can boil down most products liability cases to three main causes:

1. Defective design. Just about every product that we use or consume has to go through some sort of testing before it is released to consumers. In some cases, this testing is rigorous and mandated by the government. However, there are times when flawed designs make it past the testing phases and onto store shelves.
2. Manufacturing defect. Even the best-designed products can still become faulty if they experience a manufacturing error. Often, products go through many different stages during the manufacturing process, which sometimes means multiple companies are involved. If a problem occurs at any point along the manufacturing chain, the product can become harmful to consumers.
3. Advertising issues. Consumers rely on labels to help them understand how to properly use or consume a product. These labels can include ingredients, instructions, side effects, warnings, hazards, allergy alerts, and more. If any information on a product label is incorrect, this could lead to harmful use or consumption by the consumer.

Types of Injuries That Can Occur in These Cases

There is a wide type of product injuries that can occur. In some cases, this will include traumatic injuries such as:

• Burns or electrocution injuries
• Lacerations or puncture wounds
• Amputations
• Crush injuries
• Choking injuries
• Broken or dislocated bones

In other cases, a defective product can lead to internal illnesses or injuries. Some of these can include:

• Internal organ damage
• Spinal cord injuries
• Internal bleeding
• Various cancers due to chemical contamination
• Allergic reactions

What Compensation is Available for in New Haven Products Liability Claim?

Those who have been injured by defective products will often be able to recover various types of compensation from company products or manufacturers. At Jacobs & Jacobs, our dedicated New Haven products liability lawyers strive to recover both economic and non-economic compensation on behalf of the injured party. This can include, but is not limited to, the following:

• Payment for any hospitalization or doctor’s office visits
• Coverage of prescription medications or medical devices
• The cost of any surgical needs
• Physical therapy or rehabilitation coverage
• Lost income if a victim cannot work
• General household out-of-pocket expenses
• Pain and suffering damages
• Loss of enjoyment of life damages

The total amount of compensation available in these cases will vary depending on the facts and circumstances surrounding each particular case. In rare instances, product liability victims may be able to recover punitive damages on top of the other compensation awarded in the case. Punitive damages are typically reserved for instances where the product company or manufacturer knew about the harm associated with the product but failed to warn consumers or issue a recall.
