Each year thousands of consumers are made ill or become injured because of products that are defective. Product recalls occur daily as manufacturers fall down on quality control. If you have been injured or become ill in the Orange County area because of a defective product, you should speak with a personal injury attorney.

Product recalls occur in all consumer areas including automobiles, electronics, household goods, tires, appliances, baby products, toys, and prescription drugs are just a few of the areas where product recalls occur on a regular basis.

A product is considered defective and can result in a product recall if a product can cause a consumer to be injured, made ill, or in the worst case result in wrongful death. Any consumer product can result in a product recall if it is not properly tested or it is not inspected in the manner it should be.

For example, if you are using a knife and you cut yourself while you are using the knife in the manner it was designed to be used you have no lawsuit. However, if you are using the knife and the blade breaks off injuring you have a case against the manufacturer.

Reasons for Product Recalls

There are all kinds of reasons why product recalls occur.

Design defects are one reason, which results in millions of injuries yearly. This occurs at the actual design state.
Defective manufacturing is another reason for product recalls and occurs when the product is not manufactured in a manner that results in a product that is safe to use.
Product testing that is inadequate can lead to product recalls. This is often the case in automobile safety crash testing.
Marketing misrepresentation includes prescription drugs that have inadequate warning labels, improper directions on consumer products, or claims that a product will do something it is not capable of.
