Defective and Harmful Products

Kaplan Fox Protects Consumers From Defective and Harmful Products

Have you ever bought a product that simply didn’t work? Or used a product that caused you an injury? Have you ever experienced trouble getting a company to honor its warranty or give you a refund? If so, you may have unwittingly bought a defective or harmful product and might be entitled to compensation through state and federal consumer protection laws.

Defective Products

Whether intentional or not, companies often sell customers products that simply do not work like they were intended to or that break down before the customer gets their money’s worth. Products might have design defects which result from the product being poorly designed or tested. Or sometimes a product’s design is fine but it has a manufacturing defect that causes it not to work properly. While companies can issue recalls when a product defect is discovered, sometimes they refuse to honor warranties and give refunds when products do not work properly. Defective products often include expensive electronics such as computers and televisions as well cars or their component parts. If you have ever had trouble getting a company to give you a replacement, repair, or refund you should contact our experienced team of product defect lawyers to find out if you have a case.

Harmful Products

Sometimes customers even buy products that can cause them harm—like a toy that children might choke on or a drug that has dangerous side effects. For example, consumers recently claimed a wearable fitness tracker gave them serious, painful burns and that wood flooring installed in thousands of homes contained harmful levels of formaldehyde that allegedly causes respiratory problems and has been linked to cancer. In these cases customers might just want their money back or they may also need compensation for their injuries. Our product defect lawyers are available to talk with you to determine whether you might be entitled to compensation for buying a harmful product.

Our consumer protection lawyers have represented plaintiffs in class action cases that were impacted by allegedly defective products sold by carmakers, toy manufacturers, and tech companies, among others.

In re Baycol Products Liability Litigation, MDL No.1431-MJD/JGL (D. Minn.). We sued the pharmaceutical company Bayer over a defective cholesterol control drug called Baycol

Verdie v. Mitsubishi, No. 2004280 (Cal. Super. Ct. Stanislaus Cnty.): We filed a consumer protection class action against Mitsubishi alleging design defects in expensive “LaserVue” high-definition televisions that caused problems with picture quality. We obtained refunds of $500 or free repairs for consumers throughout the United States.
