If you were injured by a defective product in Florida, our attorney and his legal team are here to help you recover the financial compensation you deserve.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports over 22,000 deaths and 29 million injuries related to consumer products every year. It advises consumers to stay up to date with the list of recalled products so as to avoid using them and thereby prevent injury.
Manufacturers must design products, which are safe for consumers. They are also required to warn consumers of any potential side effects or injuries which may stem from their products. When a manufacturer creates unsafe products or when the distributor fails to warn consumers that a product may be dangerous, the companies can be held liable for injuries or death caused by their products.
From child safety seats to medical devices, the range of products that can be defective is very wide. Thereby, numerous products are the subject of lawsuits throughout the country after they proved to be dangerous by causing injury to consumers. Here are the most commonly recalled items that may result in injury and which make the subject of our product liability cases.
The manufacturers of medical devices are bound by law to ensure the safety of their products. They can be held liable for placing dangerous or defective products on the market. Oftentimes, the manufacturers fail to conduct adequate testing and will place a device on the market with design flaws or defective functioning. Likewise, there have been many instances where a device or implant was designed appropriately, but it was manufactured in a way that was not consistent with the design, which is referred to as a manufacturing defect.
Any medical device which causes injuries and requires the user to undergo medical treatments is considered defective. The medical devices which are known to have caused injuries include:
The following medical devices have been recently recalled:

Cosmetics such as skin moisturizers, perfumes, lipsticks, nail polishes, makeup, shampoos, permanent waves, hair dyes, toothpaste, and deodorants are essential for everyone. However, they can be hazardous to our bodies even when they are used properly due to various chemicals used in the manufacturing process. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act does not require premarket approval for cosmetic products except for color additives. Consequently, the companies who manufacture or market cosmetics have the legal responsibility to ensure the safety of their products and ingredients.
Several injuries could be caused by faulty cosmetic products, including the following:
The most recent cosmetic product recalls are:

Total release foggers or bug bombs are essentially cans of pesticides, which spray out all at once. They are used to get rid of pests such as fleas and cockroaches. They may cause illness and explosions. Foggers are usually designed to be placed on stable surfaces in the center of the room and are activated by depressing or removing a tab at the top of the can.
Too many bug bombs in a small space can cause fires or explosions. The use of too many foggers can cause vapors to build up. A spark from a pilot light, furnace, thermostat, water heater, or another source can cause a fire or explosion. Be sure to read all the warnings on the label. Foggers can be a serious health and safety hazard if you use too many or fail to follow the directions and the injuries you may sustain can require medical attention.

Batteries are used in some consumer products, including phones, laptops, watches, remote controls, and children’s toys. They pose different safety hazards from product to product, but the most common concerns are overheating and fires.
In the majority of cases, a battery explosion takes place due to overheating. Nevertheless, explosions may also be attributed to other causes, such as chemical combustion or combustion related to nearby electrical components. Battery explosion may lead to burns, chemical burns, scarring, disfigurement, and other similar conditions.
Children under the age of 4 are at the highest risk of swallowing a lithium battery which may cause burns and other serious injuries several hours after consumption.
Battery explosions and battery accidents can occur in products such as:
Oftentimes, rechargeable batteries can be involved in explosions because they are reused several times before being discarded. This increases the chances of overheating or chemical issues.
In some cases, it may be necessary to determine which party is liable for the injury. The explosion can be attributed to a failure of the product due to design and manufacturing deficiencies. The manufacturer of the battery can also be held liable for the explosion and the resulting injuries. Product defects can occur in many ways, such as a design defect, a manufacturing defect, or a warning label defect. Other parties, such as a distributor or a seller, can also be held liable if they sold a product knowing that it had a dangerous or defective battery installed in it.
If you or a family member was injured due to a defective battery, do not hesitate to contact our attorney, who has over 20 years of experience with product liability cases. He will promptly review your case free of charge and determine the amount of compensation you are eligible for receiving.
A construction site accident can result in catastrophic injuries. While on the job, workers can sustain some of the following injuries:
We handle cases involving many different types of heavy equipment, including:
Often, construction site injuries result in a long period of disability and the cost of medical bills can be extremely high. Worker’s compensation may pay for some of the medical bills and lost wages, but they fail to fully compensate an injured worker for permanent losses and permanent disability.
Many people wrongly believe that pursuing workers’ compensation is the only course of action they can take after a heavy equipment accident at work. This is simply not true, as workers may use other options as well, such as taking legal action against the manufacturer or distributor of the defective equipment. However, it may sometimes be necessary to take legal action against a third party, which owned the machine and failed to maintain it properly.
Regardless of the complexity of your situation, we are here to help you recover the financial compensation you deserve for affording your medical expenses, health care, and treatment. Our lawyer, who specializes in product liability cases, will provide you with the legal assistance you need and will file a claim on your behalf to obtain the money you qualify for from the negligent party.
