Every month brings a new wave of product-related accident injuries from dangerous products across various industries. Many people are used to seeing only the major recalls that make news headlines, like the 2020 hand sanitizer scare or the Johnson & Johnson baby powder recall a few years ago. But recalls happen regularly. From hazardous toys to infected foods or vehicle defects, we’re surrounded by more unsafe products than we are typically made aware of.

What You Can Expect for Compensation When Injured by a Product
Anyone involved in the product’s supply chain has a duty to ensure the safety of the product for its intended use. When products lead to injuries and subsequent losses and suffering, victims have a right to pursue compensation for relevant damages. Such compensation may include financial restitution for:
- Medical bills
- Physical pain and suffering
- Emotional and psychological suffering
- Lost income from missing work
Common Types of Product Defects
There are varying explanations for how a product becomes dangerous to the public. Typical types of defects include:
- Design defects: when elements of the product are inherently dangerous or faulty—a sharp edge of a toddler’s toy, for example—this points to a design defect. In this case, the liable party may be the engineer responsible for the specs of the product.
- Manufacturing defects: these defects occur upon the production of the product and are not due to its design, meaning that not all makes of the product are dangerous but a single make or batch of them pose a risk. Cross-contamination or poorly processed materials, for example, may result in a manufacturing defect or dangerous product.
- Marketing defects: these pertain to the intended use of the product or a failure to warn of the potential dangers inherent in the product. When an advertisement exhibits an inappropriate use of a product, the company responsible for the advertisement may be held liable for injuries sustained by consumers who partook in that inappropriate use.
