     Some of the ways a product can be defective are:

• Failing to have any or adequate warnings to the user about foreseeable dangers;

• Failure to create or include instructions for safe use of a product;

• Failure to have proper safety locks for doors;

• Failure to have proper limit switches or interlocks to prevent a machine from operating when the proper guards are not in place;

• Explosions caused by defective manufacturing of a product;

• Creation of a product that is inherently dangerous for its intended use; and

• Serving or making food that is contaminated and unsafe to eat; and

 

     A number of other manners in which a manufacturer or retailer can be responsible for the injury or death of a person who uses their product in a foreseeable manner. We combine our extensive trial experience with a deep commitment to justice for our clients to successfully and effectively pursue these complex cases.
