Defective Products
South Carolina Personal Injury Attorneys
Every year thousands of products must be recalled by either the manufacturer or a government agency because the items are unsafe, meaning there's a flaw in the product's design, a manufacturing mistake was made, food or materials used in the product were contaminated, or the item has an unseen risk that presents itself after the product was on the market for months or even years. At the Joye Law Firm, we have experienced South Carolina defective product injury lawyers who can help you obtain compensation for your injuries.
Known as product liability cases, injury cases due to defective products may involve a long list of responsible parties or companies. Typically, however, three kinds of defective product cases occur:
- Manufacturing defects—defects that occur in the process of making the product (i.e., a bolt that isn't tightened properly at the factory and results in the leg of a baby chair falling off easily).
- Design defects—defects that are inherent to the product's conception (i.e., a swimming pool with holes in the bottom or an air conditioner that blows hot air).
- Marketing defects—improperly warning the consumer of the product's possible dangers (i.e., inadequate safety warnings or failing to include a comprehensive instruction manual).
The personal injury lawyers at the Joye Law Firm represent individuals who have suffered a South Carolina defective product injury involving a range of defective or recalled items including but not limited to the following:
- Pharmaceuticals
- Car/truck tires
- Medical devices and equipment (www.fda.gov/cdrh)
- Prosthetic devices
- Strollers
- Playpens
- Space heaters
