Salt Lake City Product Liability Lawyers

Although any industrial or consumer product can be defective, some types of products tend to crop up in product liability litigation more frequently than others.

Often, these products have been recalled, either by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the manufacturer, or both. However, the absence of a recall does not necessarily mean that a product is not defective.

Examples of common defective products include:

• Motor vehicles and vehicle parts, such as tires, braking systems, transmissions, accelerators, airbags, and seatbelts
• Children’s products, such as cribs, blankets, toys, car seats, strollers, bottles and bottle warmers, hygiene products, and more
• Pharmaceutical drugs, including antidepressants, birth control pills, blood thinners, and medications used to treat heart disease, stroke, infections, and more
• Medical devices, such as hip and knee implants, proton pump inhibitors, CPAP machines, transvaginal and hernia mesh, IVC blood clot filters, and surgical robots
• Household appliances and cleaning products, including gas-powered washers and dryers, water heaters, ovens, and chemicals
• Industrial and agricultural products, such as heavy machinery, power tools, equipment, and pesticides/herbicides
• Electronic devices, including personal computers, laptops, tablets, cell phones, chargers, and e-cigarettes/vapes

While these represent some of the most commonly defective products, any product can be faulty, and any faulty product can cause serious injury. If you believe you or someone you love was harmed by a defective product, turn to the team at Steele Adams Hosman.
