Defective Products

Knoxville Product Liability Attorney

Designers and manufacturers of consumer products have an obligation to ensure these goods are safe for consumers to use. If there are inherent dangers or hazardous situations that may arise, the manufacturer must include a warning label to inform consumers of the potential danger. Instructions are also a useful tool that can help avoid consumer injury. Unfortunately, despite efforts by the FDA and other governmental agencies that regulate the consumer goods industry throughout the U.S., products are developed with design and/or manufacturing defects. These defective products account for countless injuries every year.

Have you or a loved one been injured by a dangerous or defective product? Talking to an attorney is an important step to take, so you can learn more about your rights and options in moving forward with a lawsuit. A Knoxville injury lawyer can help determine whether you may have grounds for a product liability claim against the manufacturer, designer or distributor of the product that caused your injuries.

Defective and Dangerous Products Can Cause Serious Injury

Virtually any product may cause serious injuries, side effects, illness or even death. A home appliance may cause a fire, explode or result in electrocution. An auto part may be poorly designed and cause a serious auto accident. A prescription drug may not be properly tested and may cause serious side effects in its users. A children's toy may say it is meant for small children but may actually be a choking hazard. No matter the particular circumstances surrounding your injury and the product that caused your problems, a lawyer at the Law Office of John Whitfield can determine how to best help you.
