A product that causes the user any type of bodily injury as the result of a defect is considered a defective product. In the United States, manufacturers must create products that will not cause harm to the consumer. If there is a chance that there are any risks associated with the product or that the product may create a hazard, proper warning labels must be posted on the packing to inform the consumer of the risk.

The following briefly describes three different types of product liability claims:

Design defect - The faulty design of the product posed a threat and caused an injury.
Failure to warn - The product did not have proper warning labels on the packaging informing consumers of safety hazards, which resulted in physical injuries while using the product.
Manufacturing defect - A defect in the product occurring during manufacturing resulted in serious physical injuries.

There are a variety of items which may cause the consumer or user of the product serious bodily injuries, and even death. Some examples of these potentially dangerous products are listed below:

Defective and dangerous products have the ability to cause serious injuries and permanent disabilities. Amputations, burns, scars, head injuries, spinal cord injuries, and other defective product related injuries may require expensive medical treatments and negatively change your life. You may no longer be able to work, independently care for yourself, or enjoy your favorite past times. It is your right as an injured victim to hold the negligent party (manufacturer, wholesaler, or retailer) responsible for the injuries that their products have caused.
