Defective Products
Have you been injured by a defective product?
People expect that the products they buy in places like toy stores, pharmacies, and auto repair shops will be safe. Manufacturers, marketers, distributors and vendors have a legal and moral responsibility to protect the consumer from toxic building blocks, dangerous heart medication or faulty break pads. Every product they distribute must be safe for consumers when used in a reasonable manner.
When producers and vendors neglect their legal responsibility, consumers who have been injured are legally entitled to compensation for whatever damage the defective product caused. The attorneys at Seeger Weiss have a long and successful history as consumer advocates. Our lawyers hold negligent manufacturers, markets, distributers and vendors accountable for the harm their defective products inflict on consumers. Seeger Weiss’s consumer advocate lawyers have successful brought defect product lawsuits to trial and to settlement. Our defective product attorneys have litigated cases in fields such as:

What makes a product defective?
Any manufactured item can have something wrong with it – for instance, if a product does not work or if it is unsafe. However, not all defects provide sufficient grounds for a lawsuit. The law says that if a consumer is injured while using a product in a reasonable manner, that consumer is entitled to compensation. However, if a consumer has not followed the product’s instructions, or uses the product in a way other than its advertised purpose, he or she is responsible for any damage or accidents that occur. Our defective product attorneys commonly file lawsuits when a product exhibits:
- Design defects
- Manufacturing defects
- Inadequate safety warnings
- Poor product instructions
- Inadequate testing
- Incorrect marketing
- Unsafe components
- Recalled products
