Defective Products Liability
Holding manufacturers and distributors accountable for defective products that cause serious injuries to consumers.
Consumers have the right to expect that the products they purchase are safe for their intended use. When defective products cause injury, manufacturers and sellers can be held strictly liable—regardless of whether they were negligent.
At Paulos Law, we represent individuals injured by defective products. From dangerous consumer goods to industrial equipment failures, we pursue accountability against manufacturers who put profits ahead of safety.
Three Types of Product Defects
Product liability claims involve one or more of three types of defects:
Design Defects
Inherent flaws in the product design that make the entire product line unreasonably dangerous, even when properly manufactured
Manufacturing Defects
Errors during production that cause individual products to differ from the intended design, such as contamination or faulty components
Failure to Warn (Marketing Defects)
Inadequate warnings, instructions, or labels about product risks that consumers need to know to use the product safely
Common Defective Product Cases
We handle a wide range of product liability claims:
Consumer Products
Dangerous appliances, power tools, children's toys, electronics, and household items with safety defects
Automotive Defects
Defective airbags, brakes, tires, seatbelts, and other vehicle components that cause or fail to prevent injuries
Industrial Equipment
Workplace machinery and tools with inadequate safety features or design flaws
Recreational Products
Defective sporting equipment, bicycles, exercise machines, and recreational vehicles
Construction Materials
Defective building materials, scaffolding, ladders, and construction equipment
Strict Liability
Product liability law imposes strict liability on manufacturers and sellers of defective products. This means victims do not need to prove the manufacturer was negligent—only that:
The product was defective when it left the manufacturer's control, the defect caused the injury, and the product was being used in a reasonably foreseeable manner.
This legal framework places the burden on manufacturers to ensure their products are safe and holds them accountable when they fail to do so.
