Atlanta Personal Injury Lawyer - Products Liability

We live in a world full of products, and we trust or assume that the things we purchase and use are safe. In fact, the companies that make and sell our food, appliances, cars, clothing and other consumer products have a legal duty to make sure those products are safe. Unfortunately, thousands of us discover each year that they can’t always trust companies to comply with that duty. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, a federal agency that regulates product safety and tracks recalls, estimates that each year over 30 million Americans are injured by faulty or defective consumer products. The Agency reports that our economy loses more than $700 billion annually to deaths, injuries and property damage caused by defective products.

Types of Products Liability Lawsuits


Many, if not most, of these injuries could be avoided if the manufacturers were more safety conscious before putting their products out into the market or if they warned consumers about known or foreseeable risks of using them. While we sometimes hear about product recalls on the news, they usually don’t happen until consumers are injured or killed while using the product through no fault of their own. In some cases, the federal government orders product recalls. Under the law, there are three ways a manufacturer can be liable for a defective product:

• Design defects -- flaws that were engineered into the product when it was designed
• Manufacturing defects -- flaws in the product resulting from poor or defective manufacturing processes
• Failure to warn -- the manufacturer has a duty to inform consumers of certain risks or dangers the product can pose when it’s used in a way that is intended or foreseeable

Under Georgia state law consumers have the right to sue a manufacturer over serious injuries sustained from using or being exposed to a defective product. These actions are products liability lawsuits, and they can arise from virtually any consumer product. Flaws that could lead to a products liability suit include:

• Contamination in food or medicines
• Medications that weren’t tested fully or whose flaws weren’t disclosed to patients
• Electrical wiring problems
• Mislabeled or unlabeled products
• Failure to safety-test a product fully
• Use of poisonous or carcinogenic materials
• Small parts which children can swallow
• Unreasonably weak or unstable materials
