When Dangerous Products Cause Harm To Consumers
Each year, millions of consumers are injured and thousands are killed as a result of defective products—items that are hazardous because of a design flaw or manufacturing defect. Unfortunately, products that we rely on every day in our homes, at work and in our travels have the potential to cause serious injury and even death. Pennsylvania products liability laws are intended to protect consumers who have been injured by unreasonably dangerous items such as medications, household appliances, workplace equipment and children’s toys.
When a worker or consumer loses a hand, finger or limb, or is otherwise injured or by a product that did not work as it was supposed to, that person and/or their loved ones may be entitled to compensation for pain and suffering, medical expenses, lost wages and other hardships. In some cases, punitive damages may be awarded to deter the manufacturer or seller of the product from future harmful conduct.
