Youngstown Product Liability Attorney

Thanks to improved safety standards in the United States, most people do not have to worry about whether or not the products we buy are safe or not. We just assume what we buy is safe for us in our families. However, that is not always the case. When we look at the website that keeps track of current recalls in the country, we can see that there are currently hundreds of ongoing recalls or faulty products. These products range from toys and appliances to foods and pharmaceuticals.

There are three main ways that products become defective. This includes:

• Poor designs: All products should be thoroughly tested and inspected before they are sold to consumers. However, there are times when a poorly designed product makes it to the market.
• Manufacturing errors: Well-designed products can still experience problems when they are being manufactured. Any damage a product incurs during the manufacturing process can render it harmful to consumers.
• Labeling problems: We depend on a product label to give us the information we need to properly use or consume the product. If a label is incorrect, missing, or is missing information, consumers can become injured or ill when using the product.
