Welcome to the community dedicated to personal safety, injury prevention and recovery. [What is InjuryBoard?]
Defective and Dangerous Products

Each year, thousands of people are injured or killed by defective and dangerous products ranging from automobiles, toys, industrial equipment and medical devices. Deaths, injuries and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the nation more than $700 billion annually, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

Most people assume the safety of everyday consumer goods, from appliances to toys, tools and other common household products. But, design defects and manufacturing defects can make even ordinary everyday items dangerous and sometimes deadly.

When a manufacturer fails to use the care necessary to provide a product that is reasonably safe, oftentimes the result is life long catastrophic injuries for the unsuspecting user. If you’ve been injured by a defective or dangerous product, successfully litigated products liability cases not only benefit and protect you, but also help force the manufacturer to rethink the design of its product so that others can be spared from suffering similar injuries.
