When consumer products cause unexpected harm and serious injury, they are considered to be defective and dangerous. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, dangerous products cause countless injuries and more than 22,000 deaths each year.

In some cases, the product manufacturer, seller or distributor recalls the product immediately upon learning of the defect – and may offer reimbursement or other compensation to affected consumers. Recent recalls of dangerous products have included:

• Jardine Enterprises recalled about 320,000 cribs after discovering that the crib slats and spindles could break, creating a potential entrapment and strangulation hazard to infants.
• Fireworks Over America recalled more than 84,000 units of Oh Chute Parachute with streamer fireworks after learning that the parachutes could become entangled in overhead power lines, causing a shock hazard to users and bystanders.
• Dollar Tree, Inc. recalled 470,000 Crafters Square Hot Melt Mini Glue Guns due to a potential fire hazard. The glue guns could short circuit, causing the gun to smoke.
• Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. recalled 73,000 2004-2006 Gallant passenger vehicles because of an ignition defect that enabled the driver to remove the key while the gear was not in the park position. The car could then potentially roll forward and crash.

If you have been harmed by a dangerous product and suffered serious injury, you may be entitled to compensation for the harm you’ve suffered, and you need experienced legal counsel on your side. Product liability cases are complex and require clear documentation of the defect and how it occurred, as well as qualified expert testimony from engineers and other technical professionals. Attorneys familiar with dangerous product cases must have a thorough knowledge of recent legislation and how it relates to your injury.

Consumer product companies often have extensive legal representation of their own and may attempt to dispute any responsibility. If you incur medical and other costs as a result of your injuries, you may need financial compensation – but only an attorney familiar with Texas product liability laws can help you to obtain maximum damages.

If you have been injured by a dangerous product in Texas, you need a law firm with the experience to take on tough product liability cases, and the client dedication to ensure your rights and interests come first.
