The Hidden Dangers of Defective Products: When Safety Takes a Backseat
Baby cribs with faulty brackets. Unsafe ladders or tools. Home appliances or industrial equipment lacking the required safety parts or proper instructions. Unsafe automobiles. Countless consumer and industrial products that we rely on regularly are recalled annually because of preventable safety hazards, ranging from clothing to food, dangerous drugs, and medical devices.
The recalls are alarming reminders that just because a product is made available to consumers, or even approved by government regulators, does not mean that it is safe or can’t fail in a catastrophic way. Every year, thousands of Americans are seriously hurt or killed by dangerous or defective products. These injuries and deaths are not the result of random accidents or misuses of products but rather are direct consequences of companies putting profits ahead of people by cutting corners and designing, manufacturing, or selling products that never should have been in consumers’ hands in the manner sold.

How do I find out if I have a defective products claim?
The first step in a defective products case is for our lawyers to work with you to determine whether your injuries are tied to a failure in the design or the manufacture of the product, or the lack of proper warnings or instructions.
We provide solutions.
Holding Companies Accountable in Defective Product Cases
- Design Defects: Claims focus on whether a product could have been designed more safely without sacrificing function.
- Manufacturing Defects: Even well-designed products can be dangerous if not manufactured correctly or to specifications.
- Failure to Warn: This includes inadequate warnings or instructions to prevent known risks, including packaging or labeling mistakes.
Our Maine product liability lawyers provide experienced representation in serious injury and wrongful death cases involving defective products, including automobiles, tools, medical devices, industrial machinery, contaminated food, and household appliances.
