You can also expect our attorneys to investigate the type of defective product that harmed you. Let’s take a look at what kinds of products can be faulty and the harm they can cause.

Examples of Defective Products 

Any product can be defective if there’s negligence involved. We’ve seen cases of many types of malfunctioning products. Here are defective products that could cause serious injuries:

Household Appliances

Household appliances like ceiling fans and air conditioners could have faulty securing mechanisms that could result in them falling and striking someone. They could suffer from head trauma or broken bones.

Kitchen Tools 

Kitchen tools like blenders and toasters could have major flaws. A blender could have a defect that causes the blades to spin when they aren’t supposed to, which could cause cuts or even amputation. A toaster may have an issue that causes the entire appliance to become burning hot, which could result in burn injuries.

Children’s Toys 

Children’s toys could contain toxins that make them dangerous to be around, such as lead paint. These toxins could make a child sick.

Lawncare Equipment

When power tools like lawn care equipment have flaws, the person using them, as well as others near them, could be in danger. Lawnmowers and weed whackers have sharp blades that could cause severe lacerations if they’re defective.

Medical Devices

Medical devices can be found in the home and in hospitals as many people depend on them to improve their quality of life and to alert medical professionals if something is wrong. They can break down, cause infections, or fail to do what they’re intended to do.

Dangerous Drugs

Dangerous drugs may have side effects the consumer wasn’t warned about. If the consumer takes a dangerous drug, they could suffer from a severe allergic reaction or have another type of reaction that will require more medical care to treat.

Auto Parts 

A defective auto part could cause devastating car or truck accidents. Issues with tires, engines, steering, and brakes may not be apparent until the person is on the road.

Discovering a crucial part of a vehicle doesn’t work while one is driving is a terrifying experience, and the driver may not know what to do. The faulty auto part puts the driver and the vehicle’s occupants in danger, as well as the other drivers on the road.

To stay informed about defective products, you can check to see what products have recently been recalled.

Countless other products can injure consumers. If you don’t see the kind of defective product listed above, you should still get in touch with one of our Albuquerque product liability attorneys to find out if that’s one of the types of cases that we can help with.

What To Know About a Class Action Product Liability Claim

Clients tend to feel alone when pursuing product liability claims. However, there could be a group of people who suffered injuries because of their use of defective products. Our New Mexico mass tort attorneys will know if your product liability claim would apply to that situation.

If so, your product liability attorney may recommend joining an existing class action lawsuit. Joining this type of mass plaintiff product liability lawsuit against a manufacturer may allow you to more easily recover compensation, whereas it might have been challenging in other cases.
