Defective Products
Each year, thousands of Americans are injured by products that fail and create harmful, hazardous or deadly situations. Defective products annually cause 25 million injuries and more than 22,000 deaths in Florida and around the U.S., according to the Consumer Products Safety Commission. United States Consumer Product Safety Commission, 2010 Annual Report to the President and Congress.
Products commonly implicated in injuries include tobacco and cigarettes, firearms, toxic products or chemicals, medical supplies, surgical implants and pharmaceuticals. Other potentially defective products include automobiles, tires, seat belts, passenger restraints or air bags. On the worksite, potentially defective products include power tools, cranes, scaffolding, and heavy construction equipment. Defective products can cause personal injury, which can result in legal claims, lawsuits, compensation and damage awards depending on the severity of the harm and the establishment of guilt.
