Product Liability

 

Each year hundreds of thousands of people are injured or killed by dangerous products ranging from toys, household equipment, cars and industrial products. In 2002, there were an estimated 212,000 emergency room visits for toys alone. Children under five are the age group most likely to require emergency room treatment and the elderly are the age group most likely to die as a result of product-related injuries.

 

Each year, there are an average of 23,900 deaths and over 32.7 million injuries associated with the consumer products under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

 

When an individual is injured by a defective product in Michigan, there are a number of potential claims that a victim may have, including negligent design, negligent manufacture, and negligent failure to warn or instruct about the use of the product.
