http://www.legalnursingconsultant.org/steinacher ****************************************************** ****************************************************** DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS, Bonina & Bonina, PC:"When people buy or use products, they expect them to be safe. In fact, manufacturers, distributors and sellers of products have a duty both make products safe and to warn users of the product of any potential dangers. Unfortunately, many products are put on the market which are unsafe and can cause serious injury to people using them. The Med Law team has a complex litigation unit that deals with cases where people have been catastrophically injured as a result of defective products. We have successfully represented people injured in vehicle rollover accidents caused by their vehicles being top-heavy, people who were ejected from their vehicles due to faulty seatbacks, cases involving defective machinery, defective meat cutters, defective punch presses and defective seatbelts, as well as cases involving household objects like lounge chairs and step ladders."

Q: Who is ultimately responsible in the event someone uses our product and then tries to file a claim for injury, misuse, accidents and so on? If we get liability insurance, include disclaimers on our Web site and provide warnings on the product itself, are we still potentially liable?"
http://www.entrepreneur.com/Your_Business/YB_SegArticle/0,4621,301272,00.html ****************************************************** Product Liability: Manufacturing Defects vs. Design Defects, Findlaw.com:"Introduction: When a product injures someone, a court will ask the same sort of questions you would: How did the injury happen? Was there something wrong with the product? How badly was the person injured? Although these questions seem simple, the answers can be surprisingly complex. Courts faced with the question "was there something wrong with the product?" use two general theories to analyze the facts surrounding the injury: products liability (sometimes referred to as strict products liability) and negligence. To some extent these theories overlap or blend but the basic difference is that products liability focuses primarily on the product itself while negligence focuses on the manufacturer, seller or distributor's conduct as well as the product. Both theories look at what was wrong or defective in the product."

http://www.insuranceclaimsconsult.com/product_liab.htm ****************************************************** Product liability answers from PritzkerLaw.com:"Pritzker Ruohonen & Associates is one of the leading product liability law firms. A product is "defective" if an ordinary user or consumer could not have anticipated the danger the product created. The defect may be caused by the way the product was manufactured, assembled, inspected, packaged or tested. From a practical standpoint, that means you have to ask these questions about the product that caused your injury."

Under the theory of strict liability, a lawsuit may be initiated on the grounds of manufacturing and design defects as well as poor and inadequate warning instructions. The best defensive strategy for a company to avoid becoming involved in any of the above is to manufacture the safest product possible within parameters of economic feasibility. If said manufacturer can vouch for safety factors in the design, production, testing, inspection and evaluation of its product as well as attentiveness to consumer complaints, it will be more likely to avoid litigation or at least be able to prevail in the courtroom. This paper will discuss the creation of a potentially safe product: the protocol involved in the development, prototype testing, engineering evaluation, hazard analysis, and the production of warnings and instructions. It will also emphasize the factors necessary to keep a company from becoming entangled in the legal system so that it can spend more money on product improvement, product safety and viability."

Risk Review Online:"Did you know your company could be sued if a customer is injured while using a product you manufacture, even if he or she used the product incorrectly or didn't follow directions? According to the legal doctrine of strict liability, your company could be held responsible even if there is no evidence of corporate negligence. In today's litigious society, manufacturers risk losing substantial sums in compensatory and punitive damages resulting from product-related accident and injury claims."

This design defect has been known since 1955 when Firestone engineers publicly confirmed that the failure of the bead during mounting of the tire commonly occurs in a predictable location and recommended a simple method to avoid failure."

Manufacturers have a duty to design and manufacture products that are safe for their consumers to use. They are also required to alert consumers of any potential problems related to their product. When a manufacturer creates an unsafe product, or when they fail to warn consumers that their products might be dangerous, people may suffer as a result. If you have been exposed to a dangerous product, such as a defective automobile, motorcycle, toy, or medicine, and you have been injured, you may be eligible for significant financial compensation. Weitz & Luxenberg is one of America's foremost mass tort/products liability law firms, and has achieved prominence in many national litigations.
