Defective Product Attorneys in Cleveland, OH

When you purchase a product from a trusted retailer or online store, you expect the product to function as intended when used correctly. It’s not uncommon for consumers to encounter dangerous products due to inadequate warning labels, poor instructions, low-quality materials or manufacturing defects. Injured people or surviving family members may have a product liability case if a faulty product causes an injury or death.

What’s the Difference Between Strict Liability and Negligence?

Unlike traditional negligence claims where a plaintiff must prove a manufacturer, retailer or distributor was negligent, strict liability claims must only prove that an injury or death was caused by a faulty product.

 

Strict liability is often the relevant doctrine in defective product claims, so a plaintiff isn’t held responsible for proving a defendant’s negligent actions — just that their injuries were a direct cause of a defective product they purchased and used as intended.

What Would be Considered a Defective Product?

Defects often fall into one of three categories:

  1. Manufacturing defects: A product or component is defective, often as a result of using low-quality materials or improper assembly.
  2. Marketing defects: A product’s instruction manual or label(s) fail to demonstrate how to properly use the product or disclose any potential risks, such as a product that contains nuts or gluten.
  3. Design defects: A product’s design is what allows the consumer to use the product as intended. However, if the design is flawed or unsafe, design defects can lead to injury.

What if a Product Has Been Recalled by the Manufacturer?

Your defective product or personal injury claim may become more complicated if the manufacturer announces a recall and takes adequate steps to inform consumers of the dangers or defects. You may still have a strong case if you can prove that you didn’t receive adequate warning in time to prevent the injury from occurring in the first place.

However, if you disregard a manufacturer’s recall notice and use the product regardless of the warning, you could face challenges with your claim.
